	Four Rule to Show Cause Pitfalls to Avoid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Since a rule to show cause is not a summons, a strict reading of Rule 4(c), indicates that, unless the court orders otherwise, service needs to be done by sheriff or his deputy or any other duly constituted law enforcement officer.
		A rule to show cause which is not done via an affidavit or verified complaint is subject to dismissal.
		Bringing a rule to show cause to enforce a provision of a temporary order that is not subsequently included in an existing final order or bringing a rule to show cause to enforce typical restraints (such as a prohibition against overnight paramours being around the child) which were not part of any order is improper.

	Book Review - The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason
		The Rule of Four is set at Princeton in the spring of 1999, not just the cusp of a new millennium, but the cusp of graduation and adulthood for the four seniors who are the main characters.
		At times the four roommates act in stereotypical ways and the drama between them can be seen so far in advance that it loses the suspense of the moment.
		The Rule of Four is a worthy addition to anyone's library who appreciates a suspenseful and thought-provoking novel.

	Amazon.com: The Rule of Four: Books: Ian Caldwell,Dustin Thomason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		When four Princeton seniors begin the Easter weekend, they are more concerned with their plans for the next year and an upcoming dance than with a 500-year-old literary mystery.
		Four undergraduate room-mates are drawn into the obsession of one of them, understanding the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a book published in 1499, part illustrated encyclopaedia, part erotic novel.
		The Rule of Four is a very interesting take on the typical "scholars obsessed with an ancient puzzle" plot, because the book grapples not only with the quest itself, but on the toll that the obsession takes on the family and relationships of the protagonists.

	As yet unpublished: The Rule of Four
		The Rule of Four (Dial Press; $24) by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason is a dizzyingly intelligent mystery that has a real life encoded 15th century rare text, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, at it’s core.
		The Rule of Four is not a simple read – there is an immense amount of information packed into its tight 384 pages – but it is a compulsive one.
		I was inspired to read The Rule of Four, the first novel of two recent college grads Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason, by a review from a bookseller's website As Yet Unpublished.

		All in all, The Rule of Four is a credible first attempt by the authors.

	Fool.com: Selling the Fool Four (Rule Maker) January 3, 2000
		While Rule Maker investing is inherently much more conservative than Rule Breaker investing, owning Fool Four stocks provides something of a value component to the portfolio.
		It's my belief that the tax and transaction costs of owning Fool Four stocks are such that the best place to hold such stocks is in a non-taxable portfolio, such as an IRA.
		An ancillary benefit of excluding the Fool Four stocks from our portfolio is that it will make it easier to gauge the performance of the "pure" Rule Maker investing approach, as once we sell our Fool Four holdings, the portfolio will only include what we believe are Rule Maker stocks.

	BookPage Fiction Review: The Rule of Four
		The Rule of Four is much more than that—it's a masterfully complicated mystery, a powerfully touching romance and a cultural account of the Renaissance, as well as a bittersweet coming-of-age story about college seniors coming to grips with the "adult" world.
		The theme of responsibility—increasingly prominent as the seniors near graduation (and potential incarceration)—is epitomized by a professor's remark about writing the senior thesis: it's about shouldering something so big, you can't get out from under it.
		Riveting, poignant and intensely intimate, The Rule of Four is a thinking person's thriller of the highest order.
