What
to Do If You Find Yourself
in a Pit of Quicksand |
| 1. | Remain calm. Panic
doesn't help. |
| 2. | Assess the situation. |
| 3. | Whatever the result of
the assessment, DO NOT
leave the quicksand. This
is the same as admitting
you made a mistake. |
| 4. | Stay the course. Your
friends and enemies will
gain respect for you if
you persevere. |
| 5. | Ask others to join you
in the quicksand. |
| 6. | If nobody joins you,
never mind: continue in
the same direction,
deeper into the pit. |
| 7. | Talk about something
else. Maybe nobody will
notice you're sinking. |

| CORRECTION |
|
A recent article misstated President
Bush's solution for asbestos injury
lawsuits as calling for a ban on
asbestos. In fact the president called
for a ban on lawsuits. We apologize for
any confusion caused by our mistake. |
