Bill Pfleging, Computer Consultant and self-proclaimed "Geek"; also co-author of "The Geek Gap: Why Business and Technology Professionals Don't Understand Each Other and Why They Need Each Other to Survive" (Prometheus)
Minda Zetlin, Business writer and self-proclaimed "Suit"; also co-author of "The Geek Gap: Why Business and Technology Professionals Don't Understand Each Other and Why They Need Each Other to Survive" (Prometheus)
In Maryland's Catoctin Mountain Park, officials are erecting fences around endangered plants and flowers to fend off a booming deer population. Now, they're considering a new strategy: sharpshooters.

Jorg Friedrich, historian; and author of "The Fire: The Bombing of Germany 1940-1945" (Columbia Univ. Press)
