""" Lucky's book...makes me laugh again and again...""--Bill Moyers, Public Affairs Television, Inc. Bob Lucky, author of the widely acclaimed ""Reflections"" column in Spectrum magazine, provides a humorous, nostalgic collection of ten years worth of his own reflections on typical situations engineers encounter during their careers. Spiced with 20 per cent new anecdotes and personal experiences, LUCKY STRIKES...AGAIN takes good-natured gibes at corporate bureaucrats while offering some not-so-subtle advice on ways to circumvent the bureaucracy and gives the bureaucrats some hints on when to look the other way."
