I was born and raised on the near north side of Chicago — brought nothing but misery into the lives of my teachers, and caused my parents to age at a quickened rate. Due to a clerical error, I got into the University of Illinois, first at Chicago (Navy Pier), then Urbana-Champaign, ultimately receiving the PhD in EE in 1970. Postdoctoral work (EE at USC, Chemistry at Cambridge (UK) and Berkeley) was followed by a faculty appointment in 1973 at USC in the EE Department.
