This is my favorite quote -- from my Father when he was managing editor of Fortune: “If we can put a man in orbit, why can’t we determine the effectiveness of our communications? The reason is simple and perhaps, therefore, a little old-fashioned: people, human beings with a wide range of choice. Unpredictable, cantankerous,
capricious, motivated by innumerable conflicting interests, and conflicting desires.”
Ralph Delahaye Paine, Fortune Magazine , 1960 speech to the Ad Club of St. Louis
