78. The Bushes, on the other hand,
have done nothing but trade off the family name to enrich themselves. They're not even patrons of the arts. A guest tells of roaming around at Kennebunkport late one night in search of something to read, and there wasn't one book in the house.

The family tradition is to care for no one but themselves and their bank accounts.
