Now it’s time to leave our home, and each...
When you grow up 13 time zones away, the idea of going to Harvard seems almost mythical. Sure, I’d heard of the name (who hasn’t?), but you might as well have suggested studying on the moon, so remote did the possibility seem. (Indeed, I chose to come here sight unseen.)

...then Al Gore started railing against big business, and George W. Bush started promising it the moon. A new class of "Bush stocks" - energy, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, defense, that sort of thing - emerged, and amid the ruins of the New Economy, the Old Economy was back in a big way. Especially when Bush started delivering. And when the man in the White House is hacking away at regulations, refusing to talk about price caps and recommending a new power plant a week for the next 20 years, the last thing Big Business wanted was gridlock keeping Bush from doing the nation...
