The flip side from Machiavelli . .There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.- Niccolo Machiavelli

“Typing this on Felice’s new 24” iMac with the low-profile keyboard. Thought I’d dislike it, but I’m thinking of converting.

Lefsetz:”There’s never been a better time to be either a player or a businessman.
