...content of the first suspect disk turned out to be a "diary" containing page after page of sex-related material that included male first names, general locations and descriptions of sex acts written in graphic detail. If the accounts on the disks prove to be fact, not fantasy, police will use them to bring additional charges against their suspect. Leppik, meanwhile, is trying to keep things in perspective and "not get a swelled head." Says he: "I'm still doing the dishes and making...
Unless one believes that forecasting techniques are somehow regressing, or that forecasters are not as smart as they used to be, one must at least entertain the notion that forecasting itself is suspect in turbulent times. There are many important uncertainties, none of the forecasters has been endowed with a crystal ball, and the resulting forecasts disguise rather than illuminate the critical uncertainties. Facing such circumstances, Royal Dutch/Shell has scrapped the notion of forecasting in favor of scenarios as a basis for evaluating the future. And unlike most other large firms which tried scenario planning, Shell has made it work...
...kind, not "brother, can you spare a dime" stuff but anarchic, pointless, Clockwork Orange violence. It is particularly reviled because it is perfectly senseless. We tend to call serial murders senseless, but we know that buried deep inside a Wayne Williams lies a horrible, though perhaps unfathomable, purpose.

Deng is moving, cautiously but firmly, to weed out some of his stauncher critics: only two weeks ago, 40 senior military officers were forced into retirement. "I am afraid that some of our old comrades have this fear: after a generation of socialism and Communism...
...have, I must confess, serious doubts about the efficacy--or even the integrity--of the "classic" exam period editorial. "Beating the System" you reprinted recently. I almost suspect this so-called "Donald Carswell '50" of being rather one of Us--the Bad Guys--than one of you. If your readers have been following Mr. Carswell's advice for the last 11 years, then your readers have been going down the tubes. It is time to disillusion...
