Several years ago during the dot-com
passion, Manhattan lawyer John Kennedy sometimes wore a dark blue suit to meet
potential Internet clients. But he soon realized that his conservative clothes
were a strike against him before he even shook hands. So he began to do business
in casual, open-shirt clothes.
But now the tables have turned.
Today Silicon Valley executives are the ones often coming out in suits. No
wonder that Fortune 500 executives are dusting off their silk ties and pants. "I

no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status
of husband and wife. The wife shared in the management of her
husband’s personal property, but the
A. No, under no circumstances.

Five or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.
Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic (有阅读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned
