...Sunday, the number crunchers at Victoria Street calculated their share of the vote could reach 25% by election day. Finally the Labour counterattack gained traction, and the tide subsided. The day before the election, Mark Penn, a U.S. pollster working for Labour, was able to write on a big whiteboard at headquarters "37 32 22" - his predicted share of Thursday's vote for Labour, Tories and Lib Dems. Close enough: the actual result...
...chairman of Palo Alto, Calif., design firm Ideo, is sitting in his cramped third-floor office, surrounded by a blizzard of Post-it notes and foam-cut prototypes.

"We didn't have one incident," says Rouse. "We didn't have one officer injured, or any complaints from the suspects about...
...downloading child pornography. At another house detectives had to wait for the sun to come up to switch on the suspect's computer to search for evidence. His home ran on solar power. As each man was interviewed, and incriminating material located in his home, Rouse went to the whiteboard and wrote "positive" above his name or photo. At the end of the day he had 11 positive suspects, who would later face 1,329 charges. The only disappointment for Rouse was the failure of any of them to provide clues about Morcombe's disappearance (the boy has still...
