One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I found a welldressed man ing over. He was waving to me. I waited until he jumped into the taxi. La Guardia Airport, please, he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. What do you do? I am working at the hospital. For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help. Could I ask a favor of you? He didn39。t answer.
