There's a good chance this column won't make sense because I will be transmitting it via the Internet to Hanover and I'm not sure just how well it will work. Yes, folks, I'm on line at .

General William Sherman was reported to have said that being a leader is easy—the hard part was getting people to follow. That pithy comment was found inside the dustcover of a new book co-authored by John Beck. I didn't get the whole book this time, just the jacket. The book's title is The Leader's Window and it explains how to assess your own leadership style and develop the skills necessary to become a more effective leader utilizing the four archetypal styles: director, problem solver, developer, delegator. John has been working in this area for a while being a founder of the Charter Oak Consulting Group, a firm specializing in strengthening organizational performance by developing effective leaders.

Steve Entin was part of a clergy-business dialogue held at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., last September. He discussed "Taxes for a Good Society." Steve is currently a resident scholar at the Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation. Formerly he was a deputy assistant secretary for economic policy at the Department of the Treasury, which he joined in 1981. During that time he prepared economic forecasts for the President's budget and worked on the 1981 tax cuts, including the tax indexing provision that keeps tax rates from rising due to inflation.

If any of you noticed two tall redheads in the class section at the Harvard game, they were Allen "Oregon" Dension and his daughter Carrie, a first-year at Wheaton. Orgs writes that since he now knows that Jon Shastid is personally stomping the fruit at Odwalla, he'll splurge on a bottle. He also cautions that I should not confuse aging with maturing.

All for now. Take care and write.
