Mark Penn, Microtrends: The Small Forces 
Behind Tomorrow's Big Changes

Mark Penn, chief adviser to Senator Hilary Clinton's

special interest groups that contain a small 
percentage of people (1% of the population) can wield 
great social and political change. From "Shy 
Millionaires," Americans who live below their means, 
to Protestant Hispanics, Mr. Penn presents what he 
concludes are the next group of influence peddlers 
akin to his previously coined "Soccer Moms." Mark 
Penn presents his book at the Strand Bookstore in
