Perhaps they come from public high schools, where they started in conventional ways-as valedictorian or student council president or cheerleader. Perhaps they come from large cities in the South and West, or from the metropolitan area outside Manhattan. And perhaps their parents are middle class: high school teachers, doctors, clergymen, some lawyers, some scientists.
