- Some of us didn't get to attend Princeton and I didn't get to attend
- a university at all... now I'm writing a technical book and you think
- the price should be based upon the income of a student ?
-
- It's those darn people who work at publishing companies and those guys
- who run presses and produce paper and those book store owners why don't
- they learn that their sons and daughters don't get to go to Princeton
- and just work for less.
-
- Why don't I uhhhh just give it away ?
