Swamiji's message, delivered in part via that transcendental software, PowerPoint, and some well-placed jokes, is that stress is not a function of external demands--the number of employees and dollars to manage, e-mails to answer, strategic plans to complete or loved ones to placate. Stress is internal, he insists. Make a rational assessment of your situation with all its requirements and flaws--consider, for instance, the past behavior of your customers, your colleagues, your spouse--adjust your expectations accordingly, and the stress will vanish. He gives some quick examples. "I'm in New York. There will...
...most recalcitrant listeners - witness President George W. Bush's White House summit on climate change last month. That success is a triumph for the rational scientific thinking that motivates both Gore and the IPCC. It's the idea that if we simply marshal enough facts, enough data, enough PowerPoint slides, and present them to the world, the will to solve the problem will follow as simple...
...compromise that entails. Environmentalists hate to hear this; they think that global warming is so important it should transcend politics, as the IPCC does, and as Gore himself has in many ways these past seven years. But the final war on global warming will be fought not with PowerPoint but with politics, and it will be fought in the halls of power around the world. The scientists represented by the IPCC have spoken - what we need now are passionate, even partisan political soldiers to lead the way and push the final tipping point from awareness to action...
...most obscure bones of extinct lizards. While it’s billed as an easy way to cop out of the science core, in reality the only thing that’s easy is Professor Marshall’s accent on the ears.

...Even when Petraeus gave sketchy, disingenuous answers-expressing hope about the three-way Shi'ite gang war in the oil-rich port city of Basra-not even the most knowledgeable Senators had the facts to dispute him. The general was armed with the modern military's deadliest weapon, the PowerPoint-presentation-serried ranks of bar charts marching toward victory, which provided camouflage for the gaping holes and contradictions in the Petraeus-Crocker story. Crocker, for example, seemed particularly insistent on roping Iran into the scenario. "The Iranian President has already announced that Iran will fill any vacuum in Iraq...
