TRIBUTE TO ANTHONY FAUCI

He was very normal in every way, but you kind of knew he was special,'' said Scorce, 69, a retired teacher who lives in Northern Virginia.Everything he did was perfect.''

Fauci won a full scholarship to Regis High School, a Jesuit institution in Manhattan. Later, he enrolled in another Jesuit school, the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.

The Jesuit training is wonderful. I don't think you can do any better than that,'' he said.I always quote, `Precision of thought, economy of expression.'''

Although he had an aptitude for science, he received his 1962 bachelor's degree in Greek/pre-med. He took the minimum number of science courses required for acceptance at Cornell University Medical College.

I was very, very heavily influenced by the classics and philosophy, which I think had an important part in my ultimate interest in global issues and public service,'' he said.I was interested in broader issues. I always tried to look at things at 40,000 feet as well as down in the trenches.
