...says. "People gravitate toward me." And it's true. In welfare waiting rooms, small children toddle over to him unprompted. On the subway, the same place where he used to jump the turnstile and beg for coins, he is now the chatty middle-aged man in a leather jacket, thriving on the laughter of strangers. At the hospital he visits every week to take his tuberculosis medicine, he shouts, "Hi, Mom!" to every old lady he sees. And no matter how stoic the women looked just a moment before, slumped in their wheelchairs, they positively light...

An equally bored-looking cat, if cats...
...even put on a long pair of trousers to hear him. Wearing something other than jeans and a t-shirt does not imply that you are old and stuffy; it simply demonstrates a modicum of respect. If the former vice president has the time to throw on a jacket, the students who go to hear him should have time to make themselves presentable...
