Just checking to see if the word, 'snake-oil salesman'
is a common one or did you read the new book, REverse
Speak by David Oates?  I haven't read the book but I
did find articles about it on the Net.  Apparently,
this doctor can translate what a person means by
replaying a recorded speech in reverse.  This
technique works like a lie detector except it provides
more information than just yes or no.  President
Clinton called himself the 'snake-oil salesman' in
reverse when he addressed a committee of
environmentalists and diplomats.  I thought this was
really neat, I don't have the web address, but if
anyone is interested, type Reverse Speak in the search
box and find it.
