Around 1966 I received some “feelers” from a physicist friend (Wolfgang Eisenmenger) whom I had invited for a summer at Bell Labs, where he invented phonon spectroscopy (in collaboration with A.H. Dayem). Was I interested in a full professorship at the University of Göttingen? I was very happy at Bell Labs and didn't know how to say “no”. So I said “yes, I am interested.” (I mean, how can you possibly say “no”—it would be impolite.)
