Just
as
laymen
leave
medicine
to
doctors
and
electronics
to
engineers
,
so
people
who
are
not
qualified
to
think
should
leave
all
thinking
to
the
experts
and
have
faith
in
the
experts
’
higher
authority
.
Only
experts
are
able
to
understand
the
discoveries
of
modern
science
,
which
have
proved
that
thought
is
an
illusion
and
that
the
mind
is
a
myth
.
"
"
This
age
of
misery
is
God
’
s
punishment
to
man
for
the
sin
of
relying
on
his
mind
!
"
snarled
the
triumphant
voices
of
mystics
of
every
sect
and
sort
,
on
street
corners
,
in
rain
-
soaked
tents
,
in
crumbling
temples
.
"
This
world
ordeal
is
the
result
of
man
’
s
attempt
to
live
by
reason
!
This
is
where
thinking
,
logic
and
science
have
brought
you
!
And
there
’
s
to
be
no
salvation
until
men
realize
that
their
mortal
mind
is
impotent
to
solve
their
problems
and
go
back
to
faith
,
faith
in
God
,
faith
in
a
higher
authority
!
"
And
confronting
her
daily
there
was
the
final
product
of
it
all
,
the
heir
and
collector
—
Cuffy
Meigs
,
the
man
impervious
to
thought
.
Cuffy
Meigs
strode
through
the
offices
of
Taggart
Transcontinental
,
wearing
a
semi
-
military
tunic
and
slapping
a
shiny
leather
briefcase
against
his
shiny
leather
leggings
.
He
carried
an
automatic
pistol
in
one
pocket
and
a
rabbit
’
s
foot
in
the
other
.
Cuffy
Meigs
tried
to
avoid
her
;
his
manner
was
part
scorn
,
as
if
he
considered
her
an
impractical
idealist
,
part
superstitious
awe
,
as
if
she
possessed
some
incomprehensible
power
with
which
he
preferred
not
to
tangle
.
He
acted
as
if
her
presence
did
not
belong
to
his
view
of
a
railroad
,
yet
as
if
hers
were
the
one
presence
he
dared
not
challenge
.
There
was
a
touch
of
impatient
resentment
in
his
manner
toward
Jim
,
as
if
it
were
Jim
’
s
duty
to
deal
with
her
and
to
protect
him
;
just
as
he
expected
Jim
to
keep
the
railroad
in
running
order
and
leave
him
free
for
activities
of
more
practical
a
nature
,
so
he
expected
Jim
to
keep
her
in
line
,
as
part
of
the
equipment
.
Beyond
the
window
of
her
office
,
like
a
patch
of
adhesive
plaster
stuck
over
a
wound
on
the
sky
,
the
page
of
the
calendar
hung
blank
in
the
distance
.
The
calendar
had
never
been
repaired
since
the
night
of
Francisco
’
s
farewell
.
The
officials
who
had
rushed
to
the
tower
,
that
night
,
had
knocked
the
calendar
’
s
motor
to
a
stop
,
while
tearing
the
film
out
of
the
projector
.
They
had
found
the
small
square
of
Francisco
’
s
message
,
pasted
into
the
strip
of
numbered
days
,
but
who
had
pasted
it
there
,
who
had
entered
the
locked
room
and
when
and
how
,
was
never
discovered
by
the
three
commissions
still
investigating
the
case
.
Pending
the
outcome
of
their
efforts
,
the
page
hung
blank
and
still
above
the
city
.
It
was
blank
on
the
afternoon
of
September
14
,
when
the
telephone
rang
in
her
office
.
"
A
man
from
Minnesota
,
"
said
the
voice
of
her
secretary
.
She
had
told
her
secretary
that
she
would
accept
all
calls
of
this
kind
.
They
were
the
appeals
for
help
and
her
only
source
of
information
.
