>> BA's are sometimes like human shields in this line of work.
God analogy, Tim.
They are also the one person in the entire process (well, two, along
with the PM) who should have the ability and responsibility to talk
directly to every stakeholder--kind of like the state of Wyoming has
only one Congressional representative in D.C. speaking for the entire
population of that state.
So in addition to "human shield" and "U.N. diplomat," I'd like to add to
the BA analogies: "small population state Congressman." :-)
