"skydecker" Bush..............."At Harvard he was what
is still known as a sky decker—a student who chooses to
sit in the top row of the horseshoe-shaped classroom
amphitheater. Sky deckers sat back and listened, taking in
the scene, contributing consensus-building observation from
on high. Sky deckers also had a better shot at surviving the
professors’ legendary “cold calls”—demands for
impromptu class presentations. From the stratosphere, you
could escape notice until you’d heard the flow of the talk. It
suited his methods, and even now he’d much rather learn
through briefings than paper.
Dubya is used to being a man of whom little is
expected, his name notwithstanding. But he’s insouciant
about it, even puckish. There is a doggedness to him, the
wiliness of a man only too glad to recognize his limitations
and operate accordingly. He tends to draw up simple
schemes in fat strokes with a Sharpie pen on legal
pads—and then follow them, for years if necessary. "
