Be aware of their current research, remember the names and ages of their children, and always, always agree with their opinions. Stalking is a form of flattery. Another good method: allow your target to become inebriated at a concentration party (hey, it’s been known to happen)—while, of course, declining to partake yourself—and then make your move.

A system for resolving disputes should be institutionalized, as it would be beneficial for everyone if fair and transparent response mechanisms regularly resolved conflicts.

"The idea that you can learn honorific speech in Japanese without English explanation, for example, is, to me, handicapping. Rosetta Stone's method is effective. But it shouldn't be positioned as perfect...
