"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."

"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"

"I repeat - I love everybody! And it is because of that great love that I am angered by the evil forces among us. Those who stand in our dedicated way are our enemies and must be exterminated! Who isn't for us is against us!"
