Bollinger received his bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon in 1968 and went on to attend Columbia Law School, where he received his J.D. in 1971 and served as an editor at the Columbia Law Review...
...Aimee Mann, "Bachelor No. 2, or the Last Remains of the Dodo" Gorgeous hooks and bittersweet attitude to spare. Nothing involving the marriage of melody and lyrics (the basis for songs, last I checked) beat "Red Vines" in these ears this year.

...scholarship at Tuskegee University, Johnson earned his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's in nuclear engineering. He did thermal analysis of plutonium fuel spheres at the Savannah River National Laboratory and developed auxiliary cooling systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. At the famous Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, he worked as a systems engineer for the Galileo mission to Jupiter. He joined the Air Force, where he was assigned to the Strategic Air Command and studied nonnuclear-strategic-weapons technology and worked on the Stealth bomber program. He later went back to the Jet Propulsion...
