...world decide my schedule.”Buffett sat down with the Harvard group for two hours on Friday afternoon. Students were eager to hear the Berkshire Hathaway CEO’s tips for financial success.“Investing is not about having a 200 IQ.

For another, science has no agreed-upon definition of "intelligence" either - let alone an agreed-upon method to test it. All kinds of cultural biases have been identified in IQ tests, for example.

I am not saying that being a member of three churches makes you insane, but perhaps it makes you prone to crazy pants with appliqué on them (Sharon seems to love these. I can’t even tell you how many times I open a magazine to see Sharon Stone running an errand in appliqué pants. It is insane). This is not to say that Miss Stone doesn?...
