...Eden and Miller gets to the point that he presumably wants to make. It concerns the slaying of Abel by Cain, seen as the harbinger of man's unbroken fratricide through all succeeding ages. In Miller's version, Lucifer incites Cain in the hope of establishing dominion over men on earth, comparable to God's rule in heaven. Thus man is in perpetual thrall to a power struggle between God and the Angel of Darkness, or to the conflicting forces of good and evil within himself...
What would Hughes do in Canada? He was not there on business, an aide insisted. "He'll spend the days sitting and watching movies." Coincidentally or not, however, officials of Dominion Aircraft, a firm that has been noisily seeking financing for a short-takeoff-and-landing plane, have booked rooms two floors below Hughes' at the Bayshore...

"My faith," he said, "teaches people to live to enjoy their milk and honey and chariots -Cadillacs, Lincolns, Chryslers-here on earth instead of going to heaven."
