I have a friend who is almost nuts. He has a cigarette rolling thing that is made of stamped metal and is from the depression era. He found it in the 60's and used it for rolling joints back then. He dug it out because roll your own smokes cost about 1/5 as much due to taxes. The cloth part is called an apron and on the back is an ad for new aprons from the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Co. Louisville, Ky. for a nickle apiece. He sent them a dime figuring for inflation and got two aprons back!!!

I wouldn't think a real leader- the kind with confidence and charisma and creativity would take much time to worry about which he was, do you? In other words, poor Dan Quayle People who examine things too closely are not leaders. THey're too busy trying to see what they look like to other people. Leaders let others reflect off them. CW is a leader and he just -- LEADS. He doesn't think about it much. He was elected Most LIkely to Succeed by his class. He was also nominated for Most Witty and was really disappointed. He would MUCH rather have been Witty than Potentially Successful. Let's see---The two in my high school class who were voted Most Likely to Succeed---- The girl had a nervous breakdown--- she was pretty odd. And the guy is a lawyer. So CW may instinctively realize he would have been better off witty. EDIT--- It has occurred to me with this bunch-- there may have been a LOT of Most WHatevers among us... hope I haven't offended anyone
