Work like hell, tell everyone everything you know, close a deal with
a handshake, and have fun.
-- Harold "Doc" Edgerton, summing up his life's philosophy,
shortly before dying at the age of 86.
It is always preferable to visit home with a friend. Your parents will
not be pleased with this plan, because they want you all to themselves and
because in the presence of your friend, they will have to act like mature
human beings....
