In recent months, whenever I have found myself addressing the board of 
a large corporation, a select committee of government ministers, or 
giving a keynote address at a professional meeting, I trot out my own 
notion along these lines, which is to write the stories in the surface 
of a very still pool of water. I find that the result is almost always
