Description
We find the physical spectrum for the 'black hole' solution recently proposed by E. Witten as an exact string background with a 2-dimensional target space. The spectrum contains some of the states found in studies of d=1 non-critical string theory but, in addition, has new states not previously found in the d=1 non-critical string. Along the way we find a remarkable 'stringy' symmetry of the spectrum relating massive states to massless ones. (orig.)
