WATCH FOR IT: Another profile of Bill Frist reveals:

As a teenager, he put "Mr. President" under his senior yearbook picture.

And:

His wife, Karyn, put it this way: "In the long hallway of his life, there is no door closed to him. If a door is cracked, he's in the room."

Interestingly:

In the '50s , an aunt was principal of the city's first elementary school to desegregate. In the early '60s, Frist's mother became one of the first Tennesseans to openly oppose the war in Vietnam.

On the other hand:

At Princeton, he fulfilled pre-med requirements while pursuing one of the university's most difficult majors, a public policy program at the Woodrow Wilson School. He paid little mind to the biggest campus issues of his time, Vietnam (he had a student deferment from the draft). He would not vote until he was in his mid-thirties.

We knew that last, but: how do you major in public policy at the Wilson School in the 1960's, and pay little mind to Vietnam?

The Amygdala editorial staff was in bloody elementary school and junior high school, and we were goddamned obsessed with it, and other political events of the day, culminating in Watergate.

But to go to the Wilson School, and "pay little mind" to the War? *Boggle*.

Here's a tidbit Amygdala had previously missed: when Frist ran for the Senate, he

promis[ed] not to serve more than two terms.
