"I didn't know it then, but I know it now, that what I said to
Harold was like crossing a Rubicon. I had declared myself, there
was no turning back. I said what I said with feeling and to someone
who up to that moment was like a god on Mt. Olympus. He became
Harold St. James, secular savior and friend. I could talk to him. I
didn't have to choose my words. I could be Izzy Goldstein."
What will later become the legendary St. James-Goldstein duo at
Yale begins on the day World War II breaks out in Europe. Harold
St. James and Izzy Goldstein meet on the train to New Haven,
Connecticut, and both learn that they will be working together in
two different departments in the same building at Yale.
Their oddball friendship becomes fodder for snide comments and
campus newspaper articles. But it's a strong friendship that
carries them through an initial anti-Semitism, Harold's marriage
and his wife's premature death, the House Un-American Activities
Committee, the Vietnam War, and the Black Panthers.
