"Second, it begins to paint a picture of a very fortunate son who uses connections and pulls strings for special favors. That is a theme running through the man's life."

Actually, the string that runs through his life is that Dad refused to intercede when he messed up, and left him to take his lumps. The DUI, the joining the TANG, the going to Harvard Business School...in each case he was left to go it alone.
