- E o filme do Mel Gibson - A Paixão de Cristo - continua causando o maior rebuliço como há muito não se via. Hoje de manhã pelo radio do carro ouvi inumeros depoimentos de pessoas que foram ver o filme e ficaram horrorizadas com a crueza das imagens. As entidades católicas compraram sessões inteiras nos cinemas do pais inteiro para seus associados e membros.

- Jim McGee writes: Unlike physical processes or information factory processes, knowledge work processes aren't readily susceptible to conventional reengineering/industrial engineering approaches. You can't impose industrial structure and control on these processes without destroying the fluidity and adaptability that characterizes them as knowledge work processes.
