Jan  Pokorny once told me a story of sitting next to PJ in the 
architectural  exam. About 2/3 of the way through the design portion, (apparently his 
third  time taking it) he got up, announced, "I don't have time for this, I 
have a  party to prepare for" and left. Dude.


Like Johnson, the rough-edged, bare-fisted, poverty-born reporter Rick  
Bragg went to Harvard, although on a fellowship he had been awarded, much to 
his  surprise, and where he felt utterly out of place:
 
"I had about as much business at Harvard as a hog in a cocktail  dress."
