I think a bit of ego can help one with success, but I think judging how much ego is enough is a tough call, especially from the inside.

That's too bad, though perhaps Nye is done with that now.

As an aside, one of my college professors went to Phillips Andover (the Yale prep school, Phillips Exeter is the Harvard one) with George W. Bush and would tell us about how "Georgie" as he called him was known for putting on airs, what with his cowboy boots and according to my professor, even a bit of an accent, though everyone knows the Bushes are from Kennebunkport. I guess a Maine accent isn't cool at prep school (or otherwise).
