  The different steps that led us to the discovery of {\em no-scale
supergravity} are discussed from a very personal point of view. No-scale
supergravity has been heralded as the most promising effective theory that
describes physics below the Planck scale. In its string-derived form it holds
the potential for a Dynamical Determination Of Everything (DDOE). (Invited talk
presented at the International Conference on: ``The History of Original Ideas
and Basic Discoveries in Particle Physics", Erice, Italy, 29 July - 4 August
1994.)
