...enigmatic smile. The student tried a different tack to get the recruiter to talk. “It must be hot in there,” he said. “There are no air holes.” But GM seemed unwilling to acknowledge that there was a person inside the polyester. Brittany L. Lin ’09, who learned about the gig through fellow Kappa Kappa Gamma member High, was allowed to don the suit on the condition that she limit her vocabulary to one word. “General Mills didn’t really allow...

A familiar historical parallel would be John F. Kennedy ’40, who was not considered a Catholic politician, but rather a politician who happened to be Catholic...
