Eisenhower privately explained his method in words we may eventually learn that Powell too has used among friends. A potential candidate, said Ike, needs to retain an "aura of mystery" about his future. "The seeker," he astutely observed, "is never so popular as the sought. People want what they think they can't get." Embracing detailed positions, Ike added, would "alienate more strength than it would develop." Specifics, he said, should be avoided for as long as possible: "A premature consumption of all the ammunition in a battle is certain to bring defeat." Or, as Powell puts it near...
...Dershowitz argues that "the paradigm of the scientific method...is not the only criteria [sic] for evaluating academic undertakings."

Previn's motions were minimal and expressive, drawing cues out of the orchestra rather than grabbing them. This method resulted in slightly missed timing once or twice, but the total effect was etheral--the music became removed from the orchestra as it sought its own course...
