What I am finding now is so strange that I can't convince many of my colleagues that I am right, but I will"; a color glossy 8 x 10 photo of 't Hooft holding up a large poster with scientific equations, signed in black ballpoint; a color semi-glossy 4.25 x 6.25 half-length photo of 't Hooft posing next to a model outside, signed in gold ink; and a personal Utrecht University business card belonging to 't Hooft, signed in black ballpoint.
