As we walked, Caleb told me about his summer abroad. It was his first time out of the country, and he sounded slightly apologetic for liking Europe so much.

...Caleb’s successor as president of the Harvard Republican Club. He thinks Harvard kids from the Northeast misinterpret Caleb’s Texas good manners as smarminess. “It’s more of people trying to fit the office to Caleb than Caleb trying to fit himself to the office,” Colin said. “People project what they want on people,” Caleb’s blockmate Derek M.
