Vice President Cheney

Auburn University, Alabama

Excerpt: The vice president steered away from politics, instead offering humorous anecdotes. He described his first job interview with Donald Rumsfeld, in the 1960s: "Don's impression was that I was an impractical, detached academic type and I thought he was a young brash politician - turned out we were both right."
