Gates: In terms of discussing the details of a settlement, I can't do that. Our behavior has been totally fair. We're quite confident that the legal process will uphold our view...
...Some behavior has been delinquent. A six-year-old logged on to a Pokemon website and printed counterfeit copies of the cards to trade with gullible schoolmates. Other behavior can be criminal. Last week a nine-year-old boy on New York's Long Island stabbed an older schoolmate in a dispute over cards.

That's where, according to classmate Peter Gebhard, the future politician showed strength in classes dealing with "human behavior in organizations." Early in his time there, Professor Harry L. Hansen warned Bush and his fellow students that they would be inundated with more work than they could handle. Hansen had a higher purpose than assigning punishing amounts of work: the real goal, he explained, was to force students to learn how to separate what was important from what wasn't and then focus...
