  abstract =     "By recounting her often dramatic personal adventures
                 for two years as usability manager at a small start-up
                 software firm, Mirel shows how social and political
                 forces (``leadership conflicts, factional disputes,
                 renegade efforts, alliances and betrayals'') can
                 overwhelm intellectual forces in influencing the
                 adoption of usability improvements. Three open
                 commentaries immediately follow Mirel's paper. In the
                 first, Patricia Carlson (204-212) places the problem of
                 usability adoption into the larger context of current
                 work-place trends. In the second, Clay Spinuzzi
                 (213-219) argues that the inadequacy of the traditional
                 threefold rhetorical framework (of audience, purpose,
                 and context) lies behind the usability failures that
                 Mirel recounts. In the third, Eric Wiebe (220-226)
                 looks at broader issues of group dynamics, leadership,
                 values, and what he calls ``deep reality.''",
