Crouched in the cockpit of his spaceship, the hero of the Star Wars saga switches off a computer scanner and aims the craft's laser guns himself. Goof-off time in the boardroom? In fact, that dramatic scene is from a videocassette of the best seller Megatrends, one of a growing number of popular books being used in taped form in management-training programs. The next face on the screen belongs not to Darth Vader but to Author John Naisbitt, who explains the lesson of the space segment...

He sits in his windowless office along a hallway in the headquarters of the American-led occupation that once was a cavernous palace belonging to Saddam Hussein. The massive central rotunda so reminds Brahimi of the spaceship in his favorite movie, Star Wars, that when he enters, he mutters, "Aaah, this is the mother ship.'' His working space is cramped, just 10 ft. by 12 ft., with a small, imitation-leather couch and two chairs facing his desk. As the special envoy of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi...
