The article muses on ways in which capitalism can be altruistic rather than greedy; bumps up my respect for West Virginia's Robert Byrd, whom I often see as a detriment to Congress; and includes incisive quotes from Alexander the Great and Mark Twain ("While history doesn't repeat itself, it does rhyme"). All this in response to the first interview question.
