“In my view, Jan Masaryk was thoroughly corrupt, who bumped himself off because he saw at last where his moral cowardice and ideological 'Playboyery' had led him. I vividly remember visiting him in Washington, fat, slightly tight, coming into the room looking like a broken-down butler with his master, the little Communist, Clementis, - and saying in a loud voice: 'Has anyone seen an Iron Curtain? I haven't.' Well, he has now.” WellsLittlesLastsRememberVoiceRoomsViewsMoralSawsHavensMastersBrokenLateNewsSuicideFatsLoudIronCommunistCowardiceCurtainsIdeologicalVisitingButlersBroken DownLoud VoicesIron Curtain Author:Malcolm Muggeridge

“As financial market players know, advantage comes from reacting to news first. The same thing is true for all companies. When you start the conversation, you are recognised as someone who is plugged into the marketplace of ideas. If you talk about an idea early, you naturally get more exposure because the threads of conversation stem from what you have said. If you're in late you get lost in the cacophony.” IfsKnowsFirstsSaidIdeasLostCompanyPlayerCommunicationConversationLateNewsAdvantageFinancialThreadStemExposureMarketplaceReactingFinancial MarketsCacophony Author:David Meerman Scott
