...these boys in tuxes and starched white shirts, and I want to take them aside for some fatherly advice. Boys, the first drink is a boon, the second is a gamble, the third is poor judgment, and then the rate of descent gets steep.

"It involves judgment, analysis, synthesis, communication, creativity and innovation," he noted. That may be so, but fortunately such achievements have never been associated with the college experience.
