Other stories could be told here. There is Pat Caddell, now an independent pollster, who senior year was whispering strategy in George McGovern's ear. Jim Halperin, who dropped out sophomore year to devote more time to his stamp-dealing business--three years later, Halperin owns the most valuable coin in the world and employs his father as a vice-president. The three Lampoon editors who turned their Harvard activity into a national magazine and made their first millions at age 23. These people may have found a private harmony to match their public success, and they may not have...

So my guess is that people kind of play Christmas by ear in Tahiti; if you want to give somebody a present, if you're American or something, it's okay, but on the other hand nobody's going to get pissed off or anything if you don't remember them...
