He
pressed
the
switch
of
the
radio
,
watching
her
face
openly
,
intently
,
almost
insolently
.
His
eyes
had
a
look
of
fear
and
of
oddly
lecherous
anticipation
.
"
Ladies
and
gentlemen
!
"
the
voice
of
the
radio
speaker
leaped
forth
abruptly
;
it
had
a
tone
of
panic
.
"
News
of
a
shocking
development
has
just
reached
us
from
Santiago
,
Chile
!
"
She
saw
the
jerk
of
Taggart
’
s
head
and
a
sudden
anxiety
in
his
bewildered
frown
,
as
if
something
about
the
words
and
voice
were
not
what
he
had
expected
.
"
A
special
session
of
the
legislature
of
the
People
’
s
State
of
Chile
had
been
called
for
ten
o
’
clock
this
morning
,
to
pass
an
act
of
utmost
importance
to
the
people
of
Chile
,
Argentina
and
other
South
American
People
’
s
States
.
In
line
with
the
enlightened
policy
of
Senior
Ramirez
,
the
new
Head
of
the
Chilean
State
—
who
came
to
power
on
the
moral
slogan
that
man
is
his
brother
’
s
keeper
—
the
legislature
was
to
nationalize
the
Chilean
properties
of
d
’
Anconia
Copper
,
thus
opening
the
way
for
the
People
’
s
State
of
Argentina
to
nationalize
the
rest
of
the
d
’
Anconia
properties
the
world
over
.
This
,
however
,
was
known
only
to
a
very
few
of
the
top
-
level
leaders
of
both
nations
.
The
measure
had
been
kept
secret
in
order
to
avoid
debate
and
reactionary
opposition
.
The
seizure
of
the
multi
-
billion
dollar
d
’
Anconia
Copper
was
to
come
as
a
munificent
surprise
to
the
country
.
"
On
the
stroke
of
ten
,
in
the
exact
moment
when
the
chairman
’
s
gavel
struck
the
rostrum
,
opening
the
session
—
almost
as
if
the
gavel
’
s
blow
had
set
it
off
—
the
sound
of
a
tremendous
explosion
rocked
the
hall
,
shattering
the
glass
of
its
windows
.
It
came
from
the
harbor
,
a
few
streets
away
—
and
when
the
legislators
rushed
to
the
windows
,
they
saw
a
long
column
of
flame
where
once
there
had
risen
the
familiar
silhouettes
of
the
ore
docks
of
d
’
Anconia
Copper
.
The
ore
docks
had
been
blown
to
bits
.
"
The
chairman
averted
panic
and
called
the
session
to
order
.
The
act
of
nationalization
was
read
to
the
assembly
,
to
the
sound
of
fire
alarm
sirens
and
distant
cries
.
It
was
a
gray
morning
,
dark
with
rain
clouds
,
the
explosion
had
broken
an
electric
transmitter
—
so
that
the
assembly
voted
on
the
measure
by
the
light
of
candles
,
while
the
red
glow
of
the
fire
kept
sweeping
over
the
great
vaulted
ceiling
above
their
heads
.
"
But
more
terrible
a
shock
came
later
,
when
the
legislators
called
a
hasty
recess
to
announce
to
the
nation
the
good
news
that
the
people
now
owned
d
’
Anconia
Copper
.
While
they
were
voting
,
word
had
come
from
the
closest
and
farthest
points
of
the
globe
that
there
was
no
d
’
Anconia
Copper
left
on
earth
.
Ladies
and
gentlemen
,
not
anywhere
.
In
that
same
instant
,
on
the
stroke
of
ten
,
by
an
infernal
marvel
of
synchronization
,
every
property
of
d
’
Anconia
Copper
on
the
face
of
the
globe
,
from
Chile
to
Siam
to
Spain
to
Pottsville
,
Montana
,
had
been
blown
up
and
swept
away
.
