But he graduated from Duke law school and lived in NC and TN for a couple of decades, before he became a 70. So is he a Utahn or a Southerner?

I feel no less so today. another outstanding address. btw I would not underestimate the (earthly) sacrifice Clark made in going to BYUI. sure, he got the press coverage and the Charlie Rose interview, but many academics think what he did is kooky (even if they won't say so publicly) so it might be more difficult for him to get a non-church university president post now (but which had had certainly been on track for). after hearing a particularly inspiring talk then-Elder Eyring gave several years ago, I felt strongly that he would one day be the prophet.
