...Along similar lines, Bush was also asked what books he has read recently. He mentioned a book about Dean Acheson, Secretary of State under President Harry S. Truman, and said he likes mysteries...
...begins by painting an idyll: of Manuela (Cecilia Roth), a nurse who works in her hospital's organ-transplant unit, and her darling son Esteban (Eloy Azorin). Manuela is the mom every gay, or simply sensitive, son would adore. She watches All About Eve with him, gives him a Truman Capote book for his birthday, takes him to a production of A Streetcar Named Desire. He is a sweet, giving lad with a lot of promise.

"You need to have a conversation with your parents about what you can afford," Cady tells them. So, next to his competitive and less competitive lists, he writes $30,000. "And this would be just for tuition." Next to Truman State, he writes $8,000 and calls it "the best value in Missouri." At Truman, he adds...
