...Messre Brennecke and Clark have done, to wire a "how to do it" book for professionals, the resulting opus is almost always full of old and obvious data mingled with much misleading and impertinent material. Even, if by some freak of good fortune, the academic mind should produce a sane work on some subject like article writing, the successful contributor to magazines can be heard to dismiss it with "I don't like it, even if it is good...

How much of my work was actually applied to the service of a sane humanity? How much of it was cheapened and perverted by the greed of men, the mechanical greed of money to make more money? My work was honest work. I never cared for money?never thought about it. You imply that my work helped to fill that vulgar adolescent heaven of yours. I deny...
