revenge-of-the-tipping-point-by-malcolm-gladwell/

"In 2000, Malcolm Gladwell published the first of several bestselling books,
'The Tipping Point,' in which he applied the laws of epidemics to promote
positive social change. Now, he's returned to that optimistic book's lessons
in 'Revenge of the Tipping Point' (to be published October 1 by
Little, Brown & Co.), to examine the flip side of those theories."

That publication date suggests a review of "October the First is Too Late."

“Stranger, dreams verily are baffling and unclear of meaning,
and in no wise do they find fulfillment in all things for men.

For two are the gates of shadowy dreams,
and one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory.
Those dreams that pass through the gate of sawn ivory
deceive men, bringing words that find no fulfillment.
But those that come forth through the gate of polished horn
bring true issues to pass, when any mortal sees them.

But in my case it was not from thence, methinks,
that my strange dream came.”

Homer, Odyssey , Book 19

Translation by A.T. Murray, in two volumes.

Quoted in a press release for the film "Two Gates of Sleep."

But diamonds are a girl’s best friend!
