"You told her, Gus - Don't bore Sylvia and eat your potatoes! Naomi, I ought to warn you there's ice cream - wine, dear, Naomi and George have no wine - I must apologize about the plumbing - I do wish the neighbors wouldn't go to the john while I'm giving a dinner - more limas, dear? - Limas, Sylvia? - Gus, more limas? - Duffy, do go on about Perry and what were his rubbers doing in the ice box -."

"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"

"There's nothing really complicated about it: if you live in a strategic-base area you come under the supervision of the World Security Council and its military staff, where as if you live in a trusteeship area you are governed by a trusteeship council which, like the economic and social council, serves under the authority of the General Assembly."

"But isn't it rather peremptory to say, 'Don't leave any more milk until further notice'? It sounds so imperious. And there's 'Dear sir...'-No, that isn't right either..."
