The speed with which information travels now compared with when my dad (aged 76) was working is huge. I grew up and worked under the stress of INSTANT information (internets, fax machines) When my dad was working a lot of things were done via the mails so he had plenty of time to think about his response, etc. Today if you need documentary proof--voila! The fax will do. If you need instant updates-the computer. This has increased our work load, our production levels and our stress.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
