"I conclude this recital of my early collaborators in Princeton with the most important on of all: Res Jost whom I had met earlier in Copenhagen. Our deep friendship . . . began in 1949 after he had arrived at the Institute for a stay that would last until 1955. During that period we published two joint papers which I DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL FUNDAMENTAL. In the first of these dealing with the quantum theory of scattering processes we elaborated a method first proposed by Max Born in 1946. Having concluded the work we searched the literature for earlier contributions to our main result. We did not find anything until we came to Born's original paper where our problem was raised - but answered incorrectly." Pais A tale of two continents p. 253.
