Martha, Buzz Ogden's personal secretary, bustled into his office and plunked a stack of manila folders on his desk. "Here are the résumés from the UCSP juniors (University of California at San Patricio) that interviewed with our people at the job fair last week. There's twice as many as last year."

Buzz smiled at her. "Well, let's see how many of them still show any interest when they graduate. That's what counts." Buzz was on the board of governors at the local university. He'd started these job fairs mainly to give interested students a taste of what to expect when they really entered the job market. Martha went back to the outer office and Buzz casually looked through the stack. Each folder had a photograph of the applicant stapled on the outside. One in particular stopped Buzz for a moment.

The kid was handsome - strikingly so - with raven black hair, startling blue eyes and warm smile. 'Better looking than most movie stars,' he thought to himself. He opened the folder and was impressed with the young man's high grade levels. Closing it, he placed it back on the stack and continued to leaf on through the rest of the folders. He eventually turned back to his work and thought no more about them.
