Richard Philip's Story

The first part of this approach ('trimming the workweek, not the workforce, and markets') got polished and publicized in three races against the Kennedy's for US Congress. Had a one-on-one debate with Joe Kennedy in '96, dozens of great debates in '98 when Joe quit and ten Dems jumped in to replace him, but in 2000 Teddy wouldn't debate so I actually got more media for NOT running in 2002 (1/15/2002 Wall Street Journal, front page, 'Born to run?').
Currently still pondering how to take temporary work-sharing and permanent 'timesizing' to the next level.
