Sycophants can only rise to a certain level. Senior officials understand that the most dangerous thing in the world is a yes man, and the people I have worked for felt the candor with which I appraised them was a valuable asset.

Somewhere, in my collection of comics and comics memorabilia, I have a complete set of Iran-Contra Trading cards. Great art, and even better nasty details of all the major players in the scandal. Maybe one of them is going to go up in value.

Yes, brilliant. Bravo.
For whatever it's worth, Gates was not the University president when 12 students died in the accident you are using for your punch line.
