| The authors in this issue are neither Cassandras nor Pollyannas in their assessments and proposals. |
|
| The history of the oil industry in the North Sea is full of Cassandras prophesying the miserable day when the wells run dry. |
|
| After all, the Cassandras have been wrong with their forecasts of imminent disaster plenty of times in the past. |
|
| True to form, the conventional Cassandras are declaring the end of the new economy and forecasting widespread economic disaster. |
|
| Now is certainly not the time to play into the hands of Cassandras who fill our media with the molten lead of cultural defeatism. |
|
| Environmentalists are often seen as prophets of doom, and nobody much likes or believes Cassandras. |
|
| Would-be Cassandras have been predicting the imminent downfall of the American imperium ever since its inception. |
|
| The economics correspondents and all us other Cassandras might as well be voices crying in the wilderness. |
|
| Several Cassandras try in vain to make their prophetic voices heard, but everyone is deaf. |
|
| Let's hope the mainstream turns out to be right, not the Cassandras. |
|
| They lived in no man's land, homeless Cassandras producing their bulletins or little magazines in small back rooms, forming splinter groups without influence. |
|
| It might well be that the critics are right, but it's pretty hard to tell based on the conflicting and often panicky pronouncements of the education Cassandras. |
|
| Presumably, it's up to each of us to ensure that the Pollyannas of the world turn out to be more right than the Cassandras. |
