...villains. They could be spotted, said the witness, by their broken noses, cauliflower ears and the fact that they never worked, only watched. One of their jobs was to enforce Ford's rigid rule against talking on the job. Another was to see that the men maintained their pace. Witness after witness told how he had been suddenly taken from an assembly line by two service men, marched off for his pay and escorted to the gate, with no explanation except his own-that he just joined the U.

Whether the pace of invention and technological improvement is beneficial or harmful to society as a whole, is a large subject which lends itself to long-winded diatribes and has already been debated to a frazzle.

Outstanding scenes: McLaglen getting washed for breakfast, drilling a squad, teaching boxing, playing dolls, dying in the infirmary; the attack...
...himself of a 1,500-word oration on Freedom of the Press, President Stahlman, whose wit is as nimble as his sarcasm, settled down in the speaker's chair to conduct the meeting with good-natured flippancy, cutting short the long-winded, moving things along at a swift pace. Only real business at hand was the wording of an anti-Guild resolution...
