Actually, this is what it says:

In short, George W.'s career was not a precise copy of his father's but rather — until a sudden flowering in the last decade — a poor-quality carbon.

It was only when Mr. Bush was in his early 40's that his life took on a new direction, and this seemed to empower him.

"The conventional wisdom on George is that the turning point of his life was giving up drinking," noted Roland W. Betts, a friend since Yale days and a partner in the purchase of the Texas Rangers baseball team in 1989. "I don't believe that. The turning point of his life was buying the Texas Rangers, succeeding with the Texas Rangers.

"The reason is that it was the first real deviation from the script, which was his father's life. He had tried to emulate everything his father had done."

With baseball, Mr. Betts said, Mr. Bush not only tackled something his father had not done but did it very well. The son helped turn the Rangers around and presided over the construction of a grand new stadium, one of the best in major league baseball.
