Thank you for the compliment. I regret not getting more real-life experience, but I have enough wear and tear from what I've had so far.

I lived in New Haven in the mid-60's. The only inside gossip I have from the time was from a guy I visited at Harvard, which was more plugged in to DC at the time. The power seems to have shifted since then, with results that give Yale College a lot to be humble about.

Nonetheless, if I were to remember an educational institution in my will, it would be the Yalies. Not for any sentimental reason, and I can certainly think of a long list of their screw-ups. But I think that when they screw up, they screw up trying.
