See

chandrasekhar_symposium.html
Contains an excellent sets of review, historical and retrospective
talks.
See also Penrose talk on conformal cyclic cosmology which has got a
lot of press recently.
See the discussion after Dyson's talk. Some interesting things I
learnt

o Stoner should also have received credit for discovery of maximum
mass of white dwarf.
o A year before Oppenheimer and Volkov's paper on grav. collapse, an
Indian physicist called
Dutt reached similar conclusions. I haven't been able to find Dutt's
paper. so don't know.
