His sole claim to fame is having run with Bernie Sanders on the James Madison High School track team, and later becoming his college roommate. As the media's go-to source of information about Bernie's Brooklyn days, I did a bunch of interviews which you can find by googling "Steve Slavin" and "Bernie Sanders."
