If you go to a theatre and you find the play boring, sit quietly and have some respect for other people. I really don't like plays where they cut down on the number of actors. Every actor should have only one role, so that they don't get their lines mixed and to really live into their character. Fortunately the performances were rather convincing.

We all employ them and fall victim to them to some degree in our daily interactions with neighbors, friends, lovers, and family. But the compliance practitioners have much more than the vague and amateurish understanding of what works than the rest of us have. As I thought about it, I knew that they represented the richest vein of informa- tion about compliance available to me. For nearly three years, then, I combined my experimental studies with a decidedly more entertaining program: I system- atically immersed myself in the world of compliance professionals-salespeople, fund-raisers, advertisers, and others. _
