Heidi Phillips (Readers' Forum, April 2) tells us that Vice President Dick Cheney can give the graduates advice on how to be successful. Boy, can he ever! Cheney had around 214,498 worth of stock options in Haliburton. Haliburton was then given no-bid contracts for the Iraq war and Katrina. Cheney's stock went up more than 3,281 percent to over $8 million. While war and disaster is bad for most people, it seems to be good for the vice president.
