Abstract

Late evening of Valentine's Day, 1957. The driver of a VW Bug, wearing his trademark leather hat with ear flaps, waited patiently at Boston's Logan Airport. Finally, a pair of newlyweds stepped out of a much delayed flight from Toronto. They were not expecting a Valentine's Day party, but rather an Ivy League interview process. However, the VW Bug took the young man and his bride directly to a house on Pierce Street in Belmont, about 15 miles west of the airport. Greeting him was not a set of challenging questions, but a very lively celebratory party already in progress.
