Another good book by Harry Lorayne (sp?) is "The Key to Success", which
treats the subject of remembering people's names, occupations, hobbies,
spouses, etc. etc. etc.  Harry has done things before like go into a room
where 500 people are partying, ask them each their full name, occupation,
spouses full name, employer, job title, and a couple of other things, and
at the end of the evening has been able to successfully remember it all.
He can reference from name to face, name to occupation, job title to name,
anything.  I read the book over ten years ago, and I can still remember
that Mr. Bonamist was the treasurer of General Foods...
