...years passed, and the museum officials seemed either not to notice or not to care, John began taking somewhat larger things home with him.

Instantly, district, county and state bosses turned expectantly toward those traditional dispensers of federal patronage, the national committeemen, the Congressmen and the Senators...
...only at loose ends but at a meaningless dead end. An egocentric tycoon named Lord Mervil seems to offer a way out when he asks Ravenstreet to join him in the mass production of a pill rather like the soma of Huxley's Brave New World. No larger than an aspirin, it banishes all anxiety and induces a state of euphoric serenity. Bui before Ravenstreet says yes, his life takes a strange new turn...
