Evelyn Wood first observed dynamic reading 18 years ago when a professor at the University of Utah read her term paper at an amazing 6000 words a minute. Mrs. Wood's curiosity caused her to look for other exceptional readers, and over the next few years she found 50 people who could read faster than 1500 words per minute with fine comprehension, outstanding recall and great reading satisfaction...
LINDA: I don't say he's a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character who ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid...Attention must be finally paid to such a person. You called him crazy...
...difficulty with such distinctions is that they are likely to work better on paper than in the field.

For a forthcoming show set in a think tank, Geller sent two writers to make a study of the Rand Corp.'s offices, then reproduced it right down to the paper shredder in the basement. Yes, Phelps ends up crawling through chutes leading to the shredder. With a budget of $185,000 a show, M:I has no trouble coming up with an astonishing array of the latest devices of nuclear-age espionage. Says Staff Writer William Read Woodfield: "We like to think that the CIA is awake and watching...
