Interviews
Invited to teach at Harvard by his boss
I stayed five years at Cornell medical in New York City. I brought my wife and three kids — lived in a tiny apartment under the Triborough Bridge. And my boss, who was from Harvard, says, “Sus, I’m going to go back to Boston, do you want to go with me?” And I said, “Of course…yes.” He said, “Don’t you think you better ask your wife?” I said “I’d tell her. I’m going to tell her.”
