"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..."

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.
