...companies out there. It's like 80-20." Once he identifies a likely prospect, Shemmer places a call to the CEO for more information, then drafts a one-page summary of the company for his client, a time-consuming prospect. "It takes a while," he says. "You have to dissect a company in an hour so the buyer can figure out, 'Do we want this...
...purveyors of this voodoo medicine today point with pride to the fact that most U.S. medical schools, influenced by research grants and public opinion, have launched courses in alternative medicine, the result will not be what they expect. Legitimate medical schools--and most of them are--will dispassionately dissect the alternatives and evaluate their effectiveness.

And it's hard to feel sorry for these people, with their luxury homes and contact-filled resumes. The successes and failures portrayed here...
LUCAS: Yes, I find it amusing. I also find it very interesting, especially in terms of the academic world, that they will take a work and dissect it in so many different ways. Some of the ways are very profound, and some are very accurate.

I mean, one of the things I like about Star Wars is that it stimulates the imagination, and that's why I don't have any qualms...
