...could then cut down on the cost of printing so many $1 bills, still has more than half of the deuces on hand. One idea is to eliminate the $1 bill by replacing it with a coin. Then the $2 bill would become a welcome relief from the load of silver people would need every...
...Complaints. The figures suggest that if every water heater in the G.M.P. customer area were ripple-controlled, the utility could reduce its peak power load by 10%.

Apparently, he was the only major participant in the project to see that it was a load of nonsense and that the only honorable course was to send it up. His efforts along that line - bless his heart - are an act of creative subversion and provide moviegoers with the one reason for seeing the film...
