Title: Columbia physics in the fifties: Untold tales

Author: J. Sucher (Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA)
 
Abstract: 
Eyvind Wichmann and I were both graduate students at Columbia University 
in the fifties, a decade of remarkable creativity by a star-studded 
physics faculty, which included some ten Nobel Laureates. 
I share some reminiscences about our time there and explain the role
 played in our relationship by an eightball.
