Let's face it, nobody listens. Not even Doug.

An article on the Itineraries page of Business Day on Tuesday about hotels that offer merchandise for sale rendered incorrectly the inscription in an artwork by Doug Hilson that intrigued Douglas Reeves, chairman of the Center for Performance Assessment, enough to negotiate to buy it. The inscription reads: “Doug loved his own lectures” — not “Doug likes to listen to his own lectures.”
