Preserving the skins of dead animals is a lot less gruesome than some might think when Danny Keener explains his taxidermy business. It's almost stylish.

In the 1930s, Albert Speer, Adolph Hitler's chief of armaments (among other roles), remarked on his leader's power to reach the masses, allowing citizens and party members to share the same message at the same time.2 Of course, Hitler moved to smash alternative agendas, but leaders today, even in China and North Korea, have found that horizontal media communications-not the vertical mass-media television and radio n...
