"Mr. Norden was content to pass his time in the shop." -- "We make progress unhindered by custom." -- "He was lacking in the bond of human sympathy." -- "The truest of the true believers." -- "General Hansell was aghast" -- Part two: The temptation. "It would be suicide, boys, suicide." -- "If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours." -- "It's all ashes--all that and that and that." -- "Improvised destruction." -- Conclusion: "All of a sudden the Air House would be gone. Poof."
