  • Straw was the main material of practice dummies in sword fighting and archery (straw man)
  • Chinese people would often substitute a straw animal for a real one in their sacrifice rituals (straw dog) (really nice thing to do!)

Chapter 17 - Qualities of Leadership[edit]

Chapter 19 - Consider putting no stock in cleverness, righteousness, and specifically, the spoil system[edit]
