ABSTRACT

I remember that writing the “Using Research” article was a heroic effort. I wrote it after the project was over when my interests were somewhere else; I had collected so much data that it took far too long to organize it to present the story I wanted to tell; and at the time I had so much to say that I was constantly taking off on side excursions and having to bring myself back. What is more, the clients, or I should say what was left of the clients, were not all that happy with my version of the story. They all but threatened to sue, and I did not even tell the whole truth. I feel confident that if I had, they would have. Now it is ten years later, and there is no need for either of us to worry because the truth has been out long enough to no longer hurt.
