Nine Things Successful People Do Differently - Heidi Grant Halvorson Learn more about the science of success with Heidi Grant Halvorson’s HBR Single, based on this blog post. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from alone in your confusion.

Human cycles: History as science Sometimes, history really does seem to repeat itself. After the US Civil War, for example, a wave of urban violence fuelled by ethnic and class resentment swept across the country, peaking in about 1870.

Welles' conceit was to dress the broadcast up as a regular musical programme, and have it interrupted by reports of the extraterrestrial invasion fleet touching down in New Jersey. The absence of commercial breaks added to the versimilitude.
