CW isn't at A&M is he? I hope not.

Well, my gosh, that is MUCH more impressive than just having given the answer the professor wanted. This kid is going to be just fine in life. I read someplace that the brightest students often have trouble on multiple choice questions simply because they see possibilities for interpretation that lesser minds don't.

CW does sound exactly like a lawyer. I think it's a little premature to say that a freshman has missed his calling as a lawyer, he's got years to make up his mind. I mean, I know you know that. I was thinking about this because when I was at the courthouse cafeteria day before yesterday, I sat with someone I know and we were complaining about business, and he mentioned that a couple of guys we know have quit being lawyers, one is going to teach grade school, and the other is working on a masters in computer science. These are guys about 50. And then I told him I didn't go to law school until I was 30, and couldn't figure out anything else to do, and he said he went to law school because he had a BA in English. The profession has always been like that, people sort of drift in, and out, very different from most other professions.
