I had sort of given up on the meeting when his secretary randomly called me some Tuesday, and asked if I could come to their office this second. Dropping everything (literally, our office pet turtle almost broke his back), I ran down the six flights of stairs out of the office and ...

Looking at people’s lives visually really makes it clear when two people are born around the same time but then one of them randomly dies 30 years before the other. Murder is dickish. Another thing this diagram highlights. How not okay is it to cut someone else’s bar short? JFK might...
