I believe the most noble human endeavor is service--service to church, to family, to the community, State and Nation; whatever makes the most sense for each one of us graced to be on the face of this Earth particularly public service--more particularly, public service where you don't get your name in the headlines or the evening news, public servants who don't have huge egos but are working for the country in the best interests of the United States of America and all Americans. Grant certainly is in that category. Grant is a guy who works behind the scenes to get results. Again, it is not headlines. It is talking to all the Senators, the Senators' staffs, the administration, whoever it is he must talk to in order to get a result, legislation, something passed for the sake of the people. He is a great bipartisan kind of a guy. He is particularly effective because of his prior service, whether USTR, the State Department, or private sector. I do think his background as a lawyer helps.
