Margery was content to have only the career of being Luke's wife, but she was bound that Luke was to be an acknowledged great man. While he kept plodding through the academic maze, Margery did her best to keep up with him, was beguiled into one blind alley after another.

...electric current is simply the passage of electrons through a conductor. The greater the number of electrons, the higher the amperage of the current. At normal temperatures the electrons, pushed by the voltage, make the best individual progress they can through the maze of atoms, and they are impeded by the atomic dance. If the conductor is progressively chilled, the resistance to the current should fall off as the atomic dance slows down. In theory, the resistance should diminish in a smooth curve until it vanishes entirely at Absolute Zero, where the electrons would encounter no more opposition than would...

Before going into the story of each of 44 companies which have been involved in the investment trust's activities, SEC Counsel David Schenker drew from Mr. Rockefeller's son-in-law the story of how he got into Equity Corp.
