Great Sunday NYT book review
"This is actually Bruni’s point: that the best education is less a matter
of getting into the best school than of making the best of wherever you

suburbs of Connecticut and New York, turned down his dream school, Yale,
to accept a scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill."Read the full article Click Here
