`I was dramatically shaped by my grandmother and my aunts
because they convinced me there was always a cookie available.
`Deep down inside me, I'm four years old. I wake up and think,
Out there, there's a cookie. Either it can be baked or it's
already been bought, but its' in a jar somewhere.
`And so that means when you open up the cupboard and the
cookie isn't there, I don't say, Gee, there's no cookie.
I say, I wonder where it is.'
-- Newt Gingrich, speaking recently at a televised college lecture.
