...Four decades earlier, Herbert Hoover had suffered similar imprisonment by the Depression; he was not much of a mixer even in good times.) Nixon and Jimmy Carter were more or less reclusive Presidents by temperament. Reagan's curiosity is well contained.

As her face registers the gamut of feelings from surprise to confusion, she dances with a soft, musical bouyancy. While CityStep is partially a showcase for these indented Harvard dancers...
...fast-talking, blunt-speaking man with a boyish face and ready grin, Jacobs wears his wealth casually. He sometimes answers his own phone and regularly drives himself to work from his home in the stylish Minneapolis suburb of Wayzata in a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. He makes no claims to being a great long-range corporate planner, even to the point of refusing to keep an appointment calendar. Jacobs is a person of instinct and action.
