On communication, professional and otherwise.

Did he go to Princeton? Dude, his NAME is Princeton!

You want your child to have all the educational advantages and all the best connections, but alas, he or she often winds up a glassy-eyed C student covered in tattoos whose main interest and only legitimate skill, despite all those years of viola lessons, is riding a skateboard down a steel banister.

So do what you can early on, and give your baby a name like one I ran across in my Vital Speeches reading last week: Princeton N. Lyman.

With a name like that, the youngster will become the first glue-sniffing skateboard punk on the Council on Foreign Relations.
