"Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes...." -- Isaac Asimov

Management lesson: From an article on Larry Jodsaas by Neil St. Anthony in the Strib, who is donating $1 million to Normandale Community College: "Despite his well-established reputation as a blunt, direct boss, Jodsaas learned early in his career that the key job of any manager is to hire, train and retain good people. You build loyalty not by dictating and nitpicking but by setting clear expectations. You reward for performance. Those who don't fit will weed themselves out." (Emphasis added.)
