Creativity and humor provide that atmosphere.</P><P>Writers know that sex and violence are the elements of a good story. Arnold´s <I>Tryin´ Hard</I> uses both to communicate&#8212along with satire. His section on <I>Change Governance and Perspective</I> is filled with both as you might expect when politicians are key elements. His section on <I>Help for Leaders and Followers</I> is filled with both when political leaders and news media are featured. <I>It´s a Strange World Today</I> is filled with both as the unusual connections between us all are observed. <I>Looking to the Future</I> shows the expectation and hope that both sex and violence will continue to be with us in the future.</P><P> Arnold has other fun treatments of serious subjects. <I>The Fallback Position</I> for Managers and Others Who May Be Fired at a Moment´s Notice by an Employer with the Potential to be Completely Unfair Unreasonable and Inconsiderate.
