...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." And ultimately the $3 billion windfall for Waitt may not have been much of an incentive anyway: though he needed to borrow $10,000 from his grandmother to start Gateway in 1985, his 36 million shares in the company are worth more than $2 billion. What's an extra billion for a man who loves running the company he founded and has nurtured from such humble roots...
Goulet's original songs are all enjoyable, and there is a pleasantly subversive contrast between the jaunty, 1920s style music and ironic lyrics. Some of the tunes borrow from Parker's poetry, which works surprisingly well in songs like "Poets Alone Should Kiss and Tell" and "Sunshine." The ensemble song "Men (I'm Not Married To)" also turns a sardonic concept into a buoyant musical number.

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...
...audience in an introductory speech, April 23rd was a significant day in the life of William Shakespeare: it's both the day on which we think he entered the world in 1564, and the date on which we know he left it in 1616. This year, Wood decided to borrow an idea from a community theater troupe in her home town and stage a commemorative evening of Shakespeare here at Harvard...
