ACCOUNTING
"Well, it'd certainly make chartered accountancy a much more
interesting job."
	Government spokesman, on a proposal to tax sex (EI)

AMBITION
"He was such a pretty baby, always so kind and gentle... really
considerate to his mother. Not at all the kind of person you'd
expect to pulverize their opponent into a bloody mass of flesh
and raw bone, spitting teeth and fragments of gum into a ring
which had become one man's hell and Ken's glory."
	Mrs.Nellie Air-Vent (TJ), mother of boxer
	Ken Clean-Air System

ANALYSIS (Political)
"This is largely as I predicted, except that the Silly Party won. I
think this is mainly due to the number of votes cast."
	Norman, TV Commentator(MP)

APTITUDE
"Our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimagin-
ative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no
sense of humor, tedious company, and irrepressibly drab and
awful; and whereas in most professions, these would be consid-
erable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy, they're a positive
boon!"
	Vocational Guidance Counselor (JC)

ATTITUDES (Societal)
