...Giles makes sure that everyone feels that the characterization came from inside them," says Hamlin. "His psychology worked well with one actor in particular, who is very opinionated about what he can and cannot do. Giles very wisely has found other ways to get him to do what he wants...
...else, of course, what a university president's life is really like. But somehow, his wry comment doesn't quite ring true.

Unless the party can provide a clear post-independence direction, it threatens to subject the new country's economy to the economic pressures which invariably accompany political turmoil...
