    but not the highest per capita - having the most simply because it is a really big country is cheating.

    Let's not forget that the Statue of Liberty--an American icon was actually a gift from the French!

    I took a couple of grad courses (Masters of Business Science) at their Extension school. One professor was quite good and one was horrible (and a pompous ass, to boot.) While the cachet of going to Harvard is significant, from a learning perspective, you can do just as well at many other schools.
