Remarkable . . . the son of his parents. Baker persists in his investigation of Stanford's president over falsified findings in Alzheimer's study that made prez famous and rich. 17 years old, and he's going to bring the great man down
His knowledge of proper procedure clearly comes from his parents; he's cautious yet persistent. I lost my Libby copy and will have to wait a bit before I can finish

Book starts with startling statistics regarding the concentration of wealth in Silicon Valley--far beyond what I would have guessed, and I would have guessed quite a large number. Stanford freshman . . . joins newspaper . . . first article is on imposter (and lack of response) who lived in dorms and was thrown out repeatedly. No warning from admin to students.
