I thank you for this opportunity of sharing ideas with an international audience, and look forward to an exchange of views.

 One of my great pleasures over the years is to have seen how the fields of creativity and innovation have benefitted from efforts of practitioners and academic researchers. In particular, there has been improved international cooperation with the continued influence of the internet, itself a widely acknowledged world-changing innovation.

This is a lengthy chapter narrated by Susie Yup, journalist friend of John Keane.
It records items she published in her newspaper, and also records meetings over the period of John Keane’s arrival at the University of Urmston.
She reports a breakout at a local Zoo believed to be a deliberate action by the University’s Animal Liberation activists.
It is followed with her account of the explosion at Meniscus which killed the Director Bryan Trescothick. 
She decides to investigate through John Keane who worked for Trescothick, and her other contacts at the laboratories. Opportunities arise through their chess club which has members from both Meniscus and the the University.
She learns that Julian Callender, the main reason Keane left Meniscus, meets a porter from the laboratory who exchanges messages. When she confronts Keane he says they are stamps he collects for his Landlady’s son, Ryan Widebotham. He warns her against investigating Meniscus.
She ignores the advice and meets the leader of the student activists, Dando Llewelyn at the University through John Keane. 
She learns about a poetry society run by a Tony Scrivener, and his interest in a student Hudson Baye. 
After another meeting, Susie Yup  she is summoned to meet Wendy Lockinge the vice-Chancellor and asked to help. There has been mysterious drug-death on Campus involving Hudson Baye, and members of Scrivener’s poetry club who turn out to be from the Meniscus Laboratories.
