"One belief is that every person is inhabited by a spirit, or ko, which goes travelling while the human body is asleep. If a man should be awakened suddenly - so the belief is- the Ko might not have time to get back into its body and would get even by going around causing trouble. So the people believe a man should be allowed to sleep until he wakes up of his own accord." U.S. Army Pocket Guide to New Caledonia.

Thus in 1930 - things were getting rough, and due to get rougher. The Era of Mergers stopped short; in their place was to come the 77-B reorganization. There was a loss of industrial mastery; a host of governmental alphabetical agencies would soon confront the business executive with a world he never made. But the technology of a newer era was all this time being slowly and inconspicuously laid down.

"He's a pretty f[s]ly customer, chief - no obvious tieups with any of the Communist front organizations - but we finally hung it on him. From November, 1944, until April, 1946, he was in the State Department."
