Nunn and his teams decided a comprehensive mine-to-magazine approach was needed, and they found a blueprint in their own backyard in South Africa at the De Beers diamond company. Several current best-selling books look at how trends are spawned and spread, and debate continues over whether one could completely engineer the next Big Thing. The answer is yes: De Beers...

For Simon, the early stages of writing a play are a kind of Freudian trek through the subconscious: "There's no blueprint per se. You just go through the tunnels of your mind, and you come out someplace." It takes him about four months to create a play from nothing but considerably longer to refine it. Sometimes he is simply trying to make the play funnier?or intentionally less funny. He prides...
