Paul O'Neil is far from bright, he's just a decent fellow.

He earned his Undergraduate Economics degree from Cal State Fresno, far from a prestigious school and far from the sort of school wealthy parents would have sent their Son to.

It would be interesting to learn how he managed to become President of International Paper and Chairman of Alcoa.

I worked for a subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser for a while. George Weyerhauser was the same sort of guy - decent, honest and not terribly bright. But of course he was born wealthy with a lot of company stock to back him up.
