The guy's brilliant. He's also considering offers from several publishers to tell his story.
Working titles for the book: (okay, the book he's putting his smudge on.)
"Put the best face on disaster: Dress like you care."
"It's Showtime! The light, the camera, the door."
"How high is too high? Cushy jobs and visibility."
"Underqualified and underwater: Drowning in success." (heh. that one works)

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
