To their horror, the British discover that a deposit of Epsom salts in the Russian sector is really cobalt. "D you realize," says CB, ''we could absolutely blow up the entire world? Smashing."

He would go to the office after hours, make out punch cards to show a withdrawal from Walston's big, fluctuating margin-interest account of some $300,000, put the money in his trading account, and punch out a deposit card. He would feed both cards into the machine. Since the computer kept books for both accounts, the auditors, for eight years, always found the company balances in perfect order.
