Abstract
Samuel I. Rapaport was born in Los Angeles in 1921 to Hyman and Bertha Rapaport. His father was a distinguished local physician and his mother was a lawyer active in local Democratic Party politics. His father was well known in Los Angeles as the "Angel of Temple Street" because of his tireless dedication to the needs of his patients throughout the years of the Great Depression---often caring for patients without pay. © 2012 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
