Five years from now, our Real World experiences will eclipse our Harvard experiences in importance, at least on our resumes...
...regret the promise he made last year, in order to secure Brown's enthusiastic participation in the general election campaign, to stand down by the end of this parliament, which is expected to end with elections in 2009. For a British Prime Minister fixing a term starts a slippery slope towards irrelevance, as the press, public and ambitious MPs start looking toward the next in line...
