This (http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/printout/0,29239,2036683_2037183_2037185,00.html http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/printout/0,29...) story from 2010 has this bizarre anecdote:
"The door opened, and a distinguished-looking gray-haired man burst in — it's the only way to describe his entrance — trailed by a couple of deputies. He was both the oldest person in the room by 20 years and the only one wearing a suit. He was in the building, he explained with the delighted air of a man about to secure ironclad bragging rights forever, and he just had to stop in and introduce himself to Zuckerberg: Robert Mueller, director of the FBI, pleased to meet you.
They shook hands and chatted about nothing for a couple of minutes, and then Mueller left. There was a giddy silence while everybody just looked at one another as if to say, What the hell just happened?"
I'd love to think that the reporter answered that question- What is the director of the FBI doing at facebook? What does he mean he was just in the building? In what world does someone as powerful as the director of the FBI come into your company needing to burst in on the ceo rather than have a scheduled meeting with the CEO? Does he have an office in the same building?
Instead, we get a puff piece about Facebook's growth.
