5. The article is a good read.....even though it faintly praises him in some
way.....it's very uncomplimentary in many others. It doesn't really drive home his arrogance....but hints at it.

I loved this comment:


"The saying about him is he can talk about nuclear physics, but he can't count to three," said another former top official who
remains friendly with Mr. Powell. "This is like the story of a guy who is a great high school ballplayer, comes to the majors and
then can't hit a curve ball. You expect him to hit .380, and then he hits .150."
