...occasion, startled pilots would find one of the V.C.'s wicked little missiles imbedded in the tail booms when they landed. Now as then, helicopters are extraordinarily vulnerable. Even a single rifle bullet in the huge disc-shaped target formed by the whirling blades and the complex rotor-hub mechanism can cause a ship to tear itself apart in midair...
Though the New York Stock Exchange boasts of being the financial hub of capitalist free enterprise, it still tries to operate as a quasimonopoly.

Unfortunately, at this stage in its development, the HTC lacks the artistic expertise...
