The Hindu Business Line : Truth in 5 minutes or less

Clue 37 titled `Tricky Dicky' appears in a chapter titled `General indications of deceit,' and it says that whenever someone makes a point of telling you what they're not doing, you can be sure it's exactly what they are doing. Another clue is `the number zone,' that a liar resorts to. How so? "All of the numbers he mentions are the same or multiples of one another. This happens because he is thinking fast and is trying to remember what he's saying. Yet another clue is `oh, by the way.' Means? "When something out of the ordinary happens and the person doesn't draw attention to it, it means that he/she is trying to draw attention away from it." Another tactic is to reel off a long list of items "in the hope that one will remain unnoticed." Catch up with these and more in Never Be Lied To Again, by David J. Lieberman, from Magna (www.magnamags.com).
