NG: Taking apart a product to see how it works;° Û
Û Û  drawing the blueprints in reverse, if you will. Often used in
ÛÛ Û  industrial espionage, reverse engineering i
nvolves good intelligence  ° ÛÛ Û  work by the co
mpany or corporation to get the product before it is    ² Û
Û Û  patented by the competition. Often a corporation, especially a big
    Û ÛÛ Û  cartel, will patent the result of a f
ailed project, a discard, orÛ ÛÛ Û  even a de
vice with a built-in flaw, to throw off the competition.Û
 ÛÛ Û  Many a failed product has been patented.
-BOB BURTON  Û ÛÛ ÛÛ ÛÛ Û  OH SO SO
CIAL (OSS): Derogatory term for the wrtime Office of
Û ÛÛ Û  Strategic Services, based upon the fact that muc
h of its hierarchy    Û ÛÛ Û  was drawn from Ivy 
League schools and socially proper New York law    Û Û
Û Û  and brokerage firms. (Ironically, the OSS director, General Dono
van,  Û ÛÛ Û  was the son of an Irish-American ra
ilroad worker, born in a water-    Û ÛÛ Û  front 
district in Buffalo, New York, light years distant from the
Û ÛÛ Û  Social Register). Derision aside, the "te
a cup spies" were usefulÛ ÛÛ Û  because much 
high-label political and economic intelligence could be  Û Û
Û Û  gleaned from drawing room talks with princes and industrialists.
Û ÛÛ Û  At its zenith, OSS ranks contained su
ch a medly of personnel--Û ÛÛ Û  ranging from
 American academics to European emigre fighters toÛ Û
Û Û  downright thugs and safecrackers--that the Oh So Social label was
Û ÛÛ Û  not taken seriously by anyone who kne
w the organization.Û ÛÛ Û-JOSEPH GOULDEN  Û
 ÛÛ ÛÛ ÛÛ ÛÛ ÛÛ Û  It is the inten
tion of Spooknet to have a pair of definitions ready   Û ÛÛ 
Û  each weekday to feed the imaginations of those who research here.
