The new industries are brainy industries and so-called knowledge workers tend to like to be near other people who are the same. Think of the City of Hollywood. People cluster. This means you have winning regions, such as London and Cambridge, and losing regions. The people who want to be top lawyers in Sunderland are hoovered up by London. ↗

When you're brainy in school it's a lot harder to fit in. ↗

I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer. ↗

I'm small, sleek and fast, but I can be lost, dropped on the floor, stolen, or chucked out a window at a moment's notice! To have my brain power in my small size should be enough. I'm brainy and beautiful, but two years from now I'll be obsolete! ↗

Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson's administration, especially in the Pentagon, where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's brilliant 'whiz kids' tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war, with disastrous results. ↗
