"I'm all right if I don't look down." "They wouldn't be any better if we went clockwise." "Where's the elevator? I'm all turned round. " "Hi, Alice." "Stop thinking of it as a third of a mile! " "Let's come again and really look at the pictures." "This is going to be had to tear down."

"Incredible as it may seem to those of us who live in the world of anti-matter, a mirror image exists - the reverso of ourselves - which we can only call the world of matter."

"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!"

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.
