"Now look - International has a net quick of $15 per share. Its market price is $10, book is $36.65. Our net quick is $8; our book is$22, and at market we are selling for $25. So to start with we offer them one share of ours for two of theirs. That's five bucks premium. Can they turn it down? So they turn it down. Then we say, O.K., we'll buy the assets. We'll give you $1 million for your plant, which stands at $3,900,000 net. That wipes out all the water, gives them a fine tax carry-back. Then we give them 80 per cent of net inventory and accounts receivable - that's another $4 million. Another nice tax loss for them. So we pay 'em $5 million. There's nothing complicated about this except - say, where do we get the turn-around money"

"Here's the one - The Coming Armageddon - I wrote it four years ago - I remember I delivered it on a day that rained and only three people came. Why don't I change the wording a bit substituting 'atomic might' for 'military might' and let it solve my problem for next Sunday? After all, Dr. Blahr does it all the time - suppose I just read it to you - you can go right on sewing..."
