...there was no requirement that names and addresses be listed on the forms. According to Pollster Gill, PORI follows similar practices when conducting public opinion surveys in Israel. U.S. polling organizations also do not always insist upon having the names and addresses of persons interviewed.

McGillicuddy, and paid $10,000 plus expenses by the bank, is certain to elicit considerable skepticism in some quarters. But Kahn's commentary is also likely to become required reading for any businessman or banker hungry for a more upbeat view of the world about...
