...Born in 1922, Tudjman grew up to be a supporter of the Croatian Peasants' Party--a moderate leftist party concerned with the poverty of people living in the rural parts of Croatia.

Coming to Harvard, it was just sheer size difference. I had never met a total stranger in my life until I came to Harvard. Or, it would be like, OK, my grandfather knows your grandfather. It's like seven degrees of separation, Kevin Bacon, but it's really like two degrees of Kevin Bacon. I guess I was characterized as a jock...
