If they are of Milky Way origin, however, their intensity is reasonably set down as an effect of "local" concentration...

No. 1 judge of the show, W. C. Overton...

It has always been the steel industry's claim, seconded by cement and other heavy industries, that without price stabilization of some sort the inevitable result is a number of monopoly mills whose strategic position enables them to undersell and consequently force out of business their competitors...
