#3 You both may be off track, its initiative and drive that made the difference in his case. He had a goal, she didn't(a leftard one maybe), he WANTED to succeed, she, for the purposes of her book, didn't.
He could probably go anywhere and reproduce the same effect, sadly, so could she.

#6 In a test of the American Dream, Adam Shepard started life from scratch with the clothes on his back and twenty-five dollars. Ten months later, he had an apartment, a car, and a small savings.
Guy probably could have pulled all this simply via welfare. Reminds me of an incident of a young Asian immigrant hopping out of an expensive car and being confronted by an older American minority. The old man says "How many years have you been in this country? How can you afford a car like that?" The Asian replies "I've been in the country two years -- how many years have you been here?" The old man replies I've in this country my entire life" The Asian asks "And how can you not have a car like mine?"
