...recruit does fall into the Ivy pool, the six non-P’s face a desperate struggle to out-duel the two traditional league powers for the top prospects. Penn and Princeton work from a position of strength in this endeavor, as they have the qualities that recruits demand most...
India in particular is a high priority for Zander, who has made that country his personal project. His partner on the India team is Warrior, a 21-year veteran of Motorola who was born and educated in India. (Zander tried twice to recruit her to Sun when he was chief operating officer there, and a running joke at Motorola is that he took the CEO job just to work with her.)

The thrill is that our ignorance exceeds our knowledge; the exciting part is what we don't understand yet. If you want to recruit the future generation of scientists, you don't draw a box around all our scientific understanding to date and say, "Everything outside this box we can explain only by invoking God's will." Back in 1855, no one told the future Lord Rayleigh that the scientific reason for the sky's blueness...
