...solutions provider Symphony Services, says the IT sector needs to evolve a long-term solution. "What we need to do more is to train and educate employees to expand their zone of comfort, and to draw upon their inner resources," he says. "We're taking in all these brilliant Mensa Club types, and we must provide them with a better support system so they can perform...

Hannibal Rising is his most explicit defense: not guilty by reason of insanity, with its roots in a childhood trauma. [That's plausible,] but a lot less interesting than the grownup spectacle of the super-Mensa, super-crazy Hannibal in the first two books. To explain Hannibal is to remove the reason for his tenacious, voracious hold on readers: his otherness - odious and seductive, and unexplainable - by delving into his past.
