...world economy and the "Clash of Civilizations" thesis, and, I'm told, on artificial intelligence. To an extent, the week got off to something of unexpected start. Every pudding needs a theme, and most conferences do, too. But the idea that is emerging, quietly, as the guiding text of Davos-in-New York is not, I suspect, the one that most people in the Waldorf-Astoria - to say nothing of those outside - would have anticipated...

By editing the original text down to a production time of just longer than an hour, Director Geordie F.

But the real miracle occurred when my college-age son taught me how to use the mysterious footnote key on the computer, which makes it possible to insert the citations directly into the text while the sources are still in front of me, instead of shuffling through hundreds of folders four or five years down the line, trying desperately to remember from where I derived a particular statistic or quote. Still, there is no guarantee against error. Should one occur...
