*This interview, conducted by Lyndsey Layton of the Washington Post in June of 2014,* *tells us little about Gates' involvement in, or impact on, US education, or what's really* *motivated that involvement; but it tells us quite a lot about Bill Gates—and, therefore,* *why the interview sheds little light on those important subjects. Every time that very* *capable reporter tries, quite civilly, to get him to address some common criticism of* *his venture into education, his inescapable financial clout, or his own motives, Gates'* *face hardens, he starts to hyperventilate, struggling visibly—and often unsuccessfully* *—to keep his cool. *
