...decipher it. Gary Blackton Portland, Oregon, U.S. Klein argued that polling has become "less scientific and more speculative. It means polls should be trusted only to verify broad shifts ... rather than specific point spreads." Even this may be optimistic, since the flaws in polls may be systemic and not random.

When he arrives--friendless and unannounced--his strategy for expanding his network frequently consists of walking up to people, saying hello and starting to talk about basketball in his train-wreck sentences. More often than not, they talk back. In Kazakhstan, a conversation with a hotel bellman led to the discovery of three raw but promising players at a club team.
