Anyway, I left the party early so I could
compose my December newsletter before midnight. I went back to
La Reve (a great little, almost "secret" hotel in
Los Angeles) and started on it when I realized I couldn't
think of anything significant to write about. My thoughts
flickered back over the events of the past year. I had
"mind flashes" on stuff like the unbelievable and
mostly insane presidential election... all the people I had
known who were suffering mightily at the unmerciful hands of
fate... the immense joy I had playing with my new
granddaughter (Emma Rose) who is the most beautiful and happy
baby I've ever seen. There were a lot of incidents of note in
the year 2000 starting, of course, with the
"non-event" of the Y2K crisis, the demise and
bankruptcies of enumerable dot.com companies, etc. I found it
astonishing that Time magazine
selected George Bush as their "Person of the Year"
since his singularly outstanding achievement was the
successful theft of a presidential election.

Can you imagine such a man being elected
"Person of the Year"... and... the scientific team
who broke the genetic code (the most important achievement of
the 20th century) was not even mentioned?

Thinking of all this made me feel more like
sleeping than writing. So, that's what I did. That's why there
was not, nor will ever be, a December 2000 issue of The
Gary Halbert Letter.

But now, here it is January of a sparkling new
year with all of the promise of pleasure, profits and pain of
the coming twelve months that is laid out before us. Since
it's my job to help you with the profit part of that equation,
I thought I'd begin by giving you another lesson in
copywriting. This lesson is designed to jump start your
sluggish mind and multiply your income. Why didn't I write
about this particular topic before? It's very simple, I
forgot. Without further adieu, let us begin this lesson.

Here are 35 facts I bet you would have never
known, if you weren't reading this issue of my newsletter.
