I will never forget the afternoon I spent, about 30 years ago, with Dr. Ruth Westheimer, interviewing her for a now-long-lost magazine article — my first ever.
At 4-foot-7 Dr. Ruth used them to keep her feet from dangling when she sat down.
Dr. Ruth’s office testified to her own engaged and connected life.
Dr. Ruth, it turned out, was an avid and accomplished skier, a fact that should not have surprised me but did.
Ruth Westheimer posed a perpetual contradiction: Her form never seemed to match her content.
