Remind me again about how far down U.S. Grant was on the totem pole of class rankings at West Point. Describe for me his carelessness about his dress and appearance and his cigar chewing and proclivity for a good drink. Before the war, about the only thing he was supposedly good at was riding a horse. If I'm not mistaken, he was one of the big Yankee factors in turning the war around. What is it that they say about judging a book by its cover?

Gene,

John can handle it. We're just training him for when the book reviews start coming in...
