At 22 she became the program's executive director, and turned what was a mostly mushy, feel-good enterprise into one with real instructional rigor. She also taught high school history, unpaid, at a nearby prep school. This year Henry, 28, graduated from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management.

Most of the information on it was fabricated, but at an age when personal identity is usually up for grabs anyway, this would hardly have troubled a prep-school junior. A fake ID, taken in combination with the condom customarily nestled next to it, represented pure possibility--early admission to adulthood with all its intensely anticipated pleasures. Everyone Bannon knew at Andover owned such a card, and for a good reason that we'll get to in a moment...
