Already executives from companies like Chevron and Amoco have found themselves in two- day creativity seminars, working on problems like how to raise two candles to eye level in a dark room using only string and paper clips. Only Deliverance might be adequate preparation for one problem-solving ploy practiced at the Gannett-owned News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla.
