3. Legacy. I don't even have to look to know.

Like asking whether Stalin's children received preferential treatment or not...

Ah. The American Mertitocracy. :puke:

And I had to skip Harvard because my wife and I couldn't deal with having a child and the high cost of living in Boston.

12. I heard him say that.

He said entrance to college should be on merit. He said he was a bad student and had to knock on many doors to get admitted. I'll bet it was daddy who knocked on one door that did the trick though. So I guess this must be a case of close the door after I'm in.
