so george h.w. bush, his father was a senator, wall street finance guy. he s offered a job at brown brothers one of the bluest of blue chip wall street firms and says no. i ve got to go and do something in texas. do you think he understood he needed to go where the dem og fee of the country was going? i think it was less demography and more distance. if i had gone to wall street, it wouldn t have been different enough. i would have been in my father s shadow, my grandfather walker s shadow and been a big man in the lynx club. you can sort of see what his life would have been in 1948 on wall street. he would have lived in connecticut and subscribed to the new yorker and ridden the train in and played tennis at the river club and played golf
