"Who could have guessed in the mid-1980s, at a pair of otherwise forgettable McDonald�s restaurants some 20 miles apart, that two bushy-haired teenagers working the burger grills would become Wisconsin�s most powerful Republicans?"

The first sentence of a NYT article titled "Wisconsin, Politics and Faith Bind Scott Walker and Paul Ryan."

Last 2 paragraphs:
Rita Butke, who was Mr. Walker�s shift manager at the McDonald�s here in the 1980s, said she has enthusiastically supported both Mr. Walker and Mr. Ryan because of the values she associates with their low-wage, burger-flipping days.

�There�s a sense of responsibility and humility that you get from a job where you earned only $4.25 an hour,� said Ms. Butke, who is now manager at the Delavan store. �They both learned for themselves how much a dollar meant.�
