  13. “Berezovsky … came under attack from the newly powerful Primakov, and was shunned by most of the political elite. Putin made a point of attending Berezovsky’s wife’s birthday party. Berezovsky repaid Putin by championing his candidacy to run the F.S.B., Russia’s secret police, formerly the K.G.B., and ultimately by suggesting that the Family make him president.To sum up, the man’s qualifications were: he did not take a bribe from a car dealership and had been unafraid to go to a party for an acquaintance who had fallen into disfavor.”—”Dead Soul,” Vanity Fair, October 2008

  21. Sunday “Drive By”:The CEO of a very successful mid-sized bank, in the Mid-west, attended a seminar of mine in Northern California in the mid-80s—but I remember the following as if it were yesterday. I’ve forgotten the specific context, but I recall him saying to me, pretty much word for word,“Tom let me tell you the definition of a good lending officer. After church on Sunday, on the way home with his family, he takes a little detour to drive by the factory he just lent money to. Doesn’t go in or any such thing, just drives by and takes a look.”
