Needs a rewrite edit

The current format and emphasis of this article is bad. If he did indeed pioneer the measurement of the interstellar magnetic field using the Zeeman effect, then that is the most important thing about him as far as this encyclopedia is concerned, and it should be in the first or second sentence of the article, not buried in the fourth paragraph after details of his career, other jobs, and family life. There should also probably be more about that breakthrough than about his "current research" on apparent associations between Milky Way gas clouds and WMAP observations of cosmic microwave background, since his peers all seem to think that these associations are spurious.
