17 The intern, then aged 20, was one of Leon Fuerth’s students. I have withheld his name at his request. His main job was to input data into the software, such as forecasts for China’s growth. He resigned when Heathfield declined to accept his suggestions for improving the software. Nobody from the FBI has contacted him, or Mr Glenn (who still has a copy of the software), or four of Heathfield’s other associates that I tracked down during research for this book.

20 Email to the author 25 February 2011. Mr Fuerth adds: ‘Forward Engagement is in any event not a business, but a concept I have used for teaching and also for advocating a closer integration of foresight processes and public policy-making. All elements of Forward Engagement are to be found at www.forwardengagement.org.’
