A fine young fellow, who's talking to me about school, with an eye towards his career to follow, asks: "Am I Corporate enough?"  He asks it with enough intensity and sincerity to suggest a willingness to set up a secret alter to Goldman Sachs in his bedroom.  Naturally I tell him it's the wrong question.  But the need in that question, and the object of that need!  This is humankind.
