...advice may strike some as manipulative, he prefers to call it "managing your own behavior." His argument: candor and self-assertiveness are valuable tools, but they are not automatically useful in getting along with difficult colleagues. Says he: "People should do something different from what comes naturally. Being candid is always worth trying once, but it won't always solve the problem." Bramson also has a surefire cure for office problems, but it may not be practical for too many employees. "The best way to cope with difficult people," he says, "is to get as far away from them...
...above all, if the U.S. would assure that the arms it is sending to Pakistan would be used only for defensive purposes, then the Soviet troops would be withdrawn."

His job is to relate the facts." That's still good doctrine. Cronkite concedes that...
...Fred Astaire. Bill Robinson, the old pro who tapped up and down stairs with Shirley Temple in The Little Colonel, died a while ago. But No Maps has spectacular old footage of their sequences. Chuck Green was Bubbles' protege, and the two keep in touch. Nierenberg presents one painfully candid phone call from Green in a Harlem restaurant to Bubbles at home on the West Coast. They reminisce, anxious about the dwindling state of tap, anxious about each other...
