Left to right: Jim Simons, Cal Moore, and John Addison at Berkeley in 1971 or 1972.

Simons, then Chair of the Stony Brook Math Department, plays Satan (with horns and a wad of cash in his right hand) to John Addison's "God", as he tries to lure Cal Moore to Stony Brook while Addison tries to keep Moore at Berkeley. Doris Frederickson, who later became Cal's wife and was then the Berkeley Math Department Chair's secretary, created the horns and tail for Simons.
