...political inexperience of his advisors will prove no help to him in making them stick. Already he has found himself obliged to return some of the business of civil administration to the civil service with the announcement that "it is a job for professionals." In short, the self-chosen instrument of reform in Pakistan does not seem...
...qualify for the program, an executive is first chosen from the ranks of his own firm. Some companies use the AMP sessions as training periods for men they desire to promote to higher jobs. For the executive, company sponsorship can be the touch of the sword-promotion--and it is not lightly regarded. Over half the class is earmarked for a specific promotion before they take the course.

Said he: "I choose John ... a name sweet to us because it is the name of our father, dear to me because it is the name of the humble parish church where I was baptized, the solemn name of numberless cathedrals scattered throughout the world, including our own basilica [St. John Lateran].
