A telltale blowing in the trade winds

Abstract

The role of the planner in our modern society reminds me of the reply given by a would‐be speaker to a request to address a group of scientists. If the time allotted to my remarks, he said, is two hours, I can be ready tomorrow. It it is one hour, give me a month. If you want a short, crisp presentation, I'll need six months.
