"It's all Greek to her grandparents."
What Washington has to say about Sylvia Burwell. "'Sylvia is one of the four or five ablest people I ever met,' said Roger Altman, a deputy Treasury secretary in President Bill Clinton's administration who is the chairman and founder of Evercore Partners Inc., an investment bank. 'Between her intellect, her values and her wonderful calm, she is the best.' Even some Republicans who strongly disagree with her on the issues share some of that assessment of her abilities....A pragmatic liberal, her views and values were formed in her native West Virginia, where her father was a doctor and her mother a small-town mayor. She hasn't forgotten her roots and often returns to the state. Burwell is a rarity in Washington: People are as effusive of her in their private praise as they are publicly." Albert R. Hunt in Bloomberg View.
