The Art of Chitchat.

A perfectly delightful article at Washington Post online gives us insight on how to do just that. The article is titled, "The Rich Resonance of Small Talk: A Primer on The Fine, and Undervalued, Art of Chitchat".
A short read, with valuable tips on how to communicate by listening, rather than by incessantly talking, presenting, or speechifying. ¶ 4/01/2005 08:07:00 AM
