Presentation of the Arthur L. Day Medal to Samuel Epstein

I am charged with the most delightful task of introducing Sam Epstein. I have known him for 30 years. The opportunity to present someone with so many character flaws is particularly appealing to me. I have consulted with many individuals about the darkest details of Sam Epstein's past and am simultaneously encouraged by these sources to tell the most revealing stories about him, but I am also admonished never ever to overdo it, because Sam is really a "nice guy."
