If you've every wondered why some smart people are able to climb the success ladder while other, equally smart people stall, lesson 15 is your answer. Some great lessons here. As for Powell - this guy was on track to be the first black President until the Iraq war. For whatever reason, he made a huge blunder there that cost him his career. I'd like to think that he was swindled, but maybe he just made a mistake. It's funny, but for all the talk of left/right polarization and how Obama was the solution - which he clearly isn't, even though I tend to agree with him on many things - Powell could have certainly been the bridge.
