...other in endless wonderment, talking of nothing except that cell." Thomas' pyrotechnic conclusion demands the accompaniment of Bach, with the volume turned way up: "No one has the ghost of an idea how this works, and nothing else in life can ever be so puzzling. If anyone does succeed in explaining it, within my lifetime, I will charter a skywriting airplane, maybe a whole fleet of them, and send them aloft to write one great exclamation point after another, around the whole sky, until all my money runs...
...likely to be of the 15 to 30 year category. If all this is accurate, it would seem that without drawing such attention to it as to depress foreign investor interest, the South African government has effectively rendered the withdrawal debate sterile. Even if a foreign company were to succeed in disposing of its assets in South Africa for a fair, rather than a forced sale price, translating them into loans to the South African government would hardly be an act of disengagement.

As he concedes, "Some people say that I couldn't succeed at anything, so I became a prophet of doom." A decade ago, he was $250,000 in debt after his speed-reading schools failed and he had to declare personal bankruptcy. Today he estimates his net worth at $600,000 and reports that he has paid off all but three...
