Said Francis: "You can buy a man's time, you can buy a man's physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. But you cannot buy enthusiasm; you cannot buy initiative; you cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds and souls. You have to earn these things ...

Striking sequence: President Francisco Madero being shot down by the military in the glare of automobile headlights while a siren drowns out his cries...
...craft is no longer supported by the air, its occupants feel no gravitation. They become weightless. In the comics they float around merrily, enjoying their new freedom, but in sober fact they will probably behave like stumbling idiots. The human body's sense-organs that control balance and muscular action need gravity to guide them. The crewmen of space ships will need a lot of training before they can make their bewildered bodies behave...
