If anything distinguishes the cybergeneration of capitalists it's their
lack of interest in philanthropy, which is almost as distinctive as their
ostentatiously long workweeks. Gates's idea of charity is to give computers
to schools, to stoke future demand for Microsoft products. The Silicon
Valley crowd doesn't give anything away, making a positvely Randian virtue
out of selfishness.

And Clinton couldn't even stop working while Monica was blowing him.
