Tom Frank article in Salon

[Carl Remick]

I like this passage from that Salon article:  "Frank has had the infinite 
patience to wade through swamps of marketing literature to see how business 
convinces itself. This is one of the book's great services -- it's 
incredibly jolting to come face to face with the awesome, almost Wagnerian 
idiocy of the writings of, say, Tom Peters and then realize that people with 
power over your life take this shit seriously."

As I recollect, Bob Slocum -- the middle manager who's the protagonist of 
Joseph Heller's outstanding _Something Happened_ -- had this to say about 
corporate propagandists: "We were always the first to believe our own lies."
