"... when I was exposed to a short but remarkable preprint by Susskind [Sus69] giving a physical interpretation of the Veneziano formula in terms of vibrating strings (or ‘rubber band’ in Susskind’s terminology), I was struck by the simplicity of the idea. My interest on dual models was further strengthened by reading the paper by Nambu [Nam70], containing similar discussions. In particular, I was intrigued by the concept of ‘master field’ (in today’s language, string field), which had been emphasized by Nambu. A little later I also came to be fascinated by the very attractive world-sheet picture of Fairlie and Nielsen [FN70]."
