Abstract
  • I walked into the office of the consensus All-State planning director the other day. I couldn't help but notice two signs pinned to the wall over his work table. One said "Seaweed" and the other "Ships." There were several reports and plans arranged under each sign. My curiousity aroused, I asked about the significance of the signs. The planning director said: "It's really quite simple. We have two sections in our department, with quite different ways of doing things. The Seaweed Section gets all the assignments that are ill-conceived, undesirable, and that generally we would like to see fall by the wayside . . .You know, the special election-year report for Commissioner Fusspot and that sort of thing. The Ship Section, you may have guessed, gets our important work, the stuff we would really like to see get implemented and that will have a lasting, positive impact on the community."
