For Henry it was a revelation of quite another sort. Before, he explains to the perpetually horrified Richard, he "lived too much in the mind." After, "I know that I can do anything that I want...

Unlike his father, who had his job thrust upon him at age 37 when his own father was paralyzed by a stroke, Sulzberger has followed a carefully calibrated path to the top. At the tender age of 14, he decided to leave his mother's house and go live with his father. He knows how hard it must have been on his mother, but, he says, "she didn't cry in my presence."
