You ever serve with dudes you knew they just had a destiny

[Cicada]

1. Strobe Talbot III. 18 years old.

He stood out. I can’t explain exactly how. A confidence, a seriousness? His complete utter terror of doing anything which would displease his mother in any Way? No not that, but it was weird. He got a summer job nine months later, or 21 months, forget, at Time magazine. He brought out volume one of Kruschevs autobiography. Next summer volume two. Rhodes Scholar. Asst Secty State under Clinton. Head of Brookings. No big surprise to those of us who knew him when he was 18.
