Last Saturday morning, Aug. 26, I called my old friend Bill George for two reasons, mainly to wish him a happy birthday on his 70th–I was two weeks early–and to discuss an unlikely article in that morning's Financial Times, "The Mind Business."

"A pilot," he said, "must of necessity pay attention to the seasons, the heavens, the……Continue Reading Mastering the Context
