From Ron Tye
You observe that messy homes lead to messy minds (28 August, p 15). For many years I was employed as a research scientist for a multinational company, during which time I had to deal with a variety of high-ups. All the researchers knew what to expect by the state of their offices: those with tidy offices had tidy minds, managed everything, had everything in its place as beloved by administrators, and could not recognise a new idea if it got up and bit them.
