Sumario:The author reflects on the influence of economist Paul Samuelson on his decision to go into economics. He states that Samuelson also influenced his decision to go to Cambridge University in England, which he considered a foreign personal experience for him. He asserts that going down the river from Harvard Square and sitting in on classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was one of the best parts of being at Harvard University. He notes that Samuelson has a fairly well deserved reputation for a sense of humor.
