...Waitt says, "Anyone who really knows Ted Waitt knows that there are things more important to him than money. Two of those things are Gateway and its people."

On advice of 'Uncle' Webster Hubbell, refused to discuss anything with Princeton, Yale and Harvard interviewers but forgot about Stanford" and "#4. Sick of those wimpy Gore kids hanging around and asking to borrow the helicopter"--the mere discussion of this issue raises an interesting question about where to draw the line between the public's right to know and a student's sense of privacy...
