His considerable contributions to physics include the theory of quantum chromodynamics. He was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles. [Listener: Geoffrey West; date recorded: 1997] TRANSCRIPT: Yuval came over, which was very nice, and we worked together for quite a while. Fred Zachariasen, was somebody I'd worked with for a long time. Steve Frautschi came, right after he and Geoff wrote that little paper on the bootstrap. And we had a… a number of post-docs, we had a great number of applications and selected some very good people. The facilities for the post-docs weren't very luxurious. They were all in a great big bull-pen with flimsy partitions between the cubicles, but… but we all had a very good time. It was a very exciting time.
