Yesterday, I ran into a colleague from Georgetown University. He knew that I would be interested, he told me that Sa`d Hariri took two courses with him at Georgetown. He said that mini-Hariri sat in class (and it was a discussion-style class) silently, without ever uttering a word. He took him aside one time and told him that he needs to say a word or two. Mini-Hariri nodded and did not speak. He continued to sit silently in class. Back then, mini-Hariri did not have script and speech writers.
