While bargaining with the tottering regime of the Shah for his men's release, Perot organized a commando team from among his EDS employees and hired a former Green Beret colonel, Arthur ("Bull") Simons, to lead an improbable rescue mission.

Questions once confined to theological speculations and late-night dorm-room bull sessions are now at the forefront of cognitive neuroscience. With some problems, a modicum of consensus has taken shape. With others, the puzzlement is so deep that they may never be resolved.
