Apropos of nothing in particular, I was reminded today of Ronald Reagan's quote about jelly beans: "You can tell a lot about a fella's character by whether he picks out all of one color or just grabs a handful." It's always been unclear to me what, precisely, this says about a person's character, but today it became blindingly clear: hedgehogs pick out one color, and foxes go for the handful.
