Whittle is confident that private schooling is an investment with the potential to bring a 15% annual return.

On the back of the book, we read that "Adam Strade made [the heroine] tingle like a rocket seconds before ignition...
...people who wore them. / Americans wanted a well-made, high-tech athletic shoe not because it was a necessity but because the consciousness of the country had changed. "Jogging," "getting in shape," "working out" were part of the new life-style (another '70s concept), and Nike gave customers a stylish shoe in which to pursue the good life every American believes is his due.
