For
the
record
,
I
put
four
daughters
through
college
,
and
I
went
in
debt
to
my
armpits
to
do
it
.
One
of
them
justified
the
investment
;
she
’
s
a
leading
light
in
her
profession
which
she
practices
under
her
husband
’
s
name
because
I
’
m
a
disreputable
old
bum
who
makes
money
writing
popular
trash
instead
of
having
the
grace
to
be
only
a
revered
memory
in
her
paragraph
in
Who
’
s
Who
.
The
other
three
are
nice
people
who
always
remember
my
birthday
and
don
’
t
bother
me
otherwise
I
can
’
t
say
that
an
education
hurt
them
.
But
my
offspring
are
not
relevant
save
to
show
that
I
understand
that
a
man
often
needs
more
than
he
’
s
got
.
But
you
can
fix
that
easily
;
you
can
resign
from
the
service
and
take
a
job
with
some
engineering
firm
that
will
pay
you
several
times
what
you
’
re
getting
just
to
put
your
name
on
their
letterhead
General
Atomics
.
Several
others
,
You
’
ve
had
offers
,
haven
’
t
you
?
"
"
That
’
s
beside
the
point
,
"
Captain
van
Tromp
answered
stiffly
.
"
I
’
m
a
professional
man
.
"
"
Meaning
there
isn
’
t
enough
money
on
this
planet
to
tempt
you
into
giving
up
note
1
space
ships
.
I
understand
that
.
"
"
But
I
wouldn
’
t
mind
having
money
,
too
.
"
"
A
little
more
money
won
’
t
do
you
any
good
,
because
daughters
can
use
up
ten
percent
more
than
a
man
can
make
in
any
normal
occupation
regardless
of
the
amount
.
That
’
s
a
widely
experienced
but
previously
unformulated
law
of
nature
,
to
be
known
henceforth
as
‘
Harshaw
’
s
Law
.
’
But
,
Captain
,
real
wealth
,
on
the
scale
that
causes
its
owner
to
hire
a
battery
of
finaglers
to
hold
down
his
taxes
,
would
ground
you
just
as
certainly
as
resigning
would
.
"
"
Why
should
it
?
I
would
put
it
all
in
bonds
and
just
clip
coupons
.
"
"
Would
you
?
Not
if
you
were
the
sort
of
person
who
acquires
great
wealth
in
the
first
place
.
Big
money
isn
’
t
hard
to
come
by
.
All
it
costs
is
a
lifetime
of
singleminded
devotion
to
acquiring
it
and
making
it
grow
into
more
money
,
to
the
utter
exclusion
of
all
other
interests
.
They
say
that
the
age
of
opportunity
has
passed
.
Nonsense
!
Seven
out
of
ten
of
the
wealthiest
men
on
this
planet
started
life
without
a
shilling
–
and
there
are
plenty
more
such
strivers
on
the
way
up
.
Such
people
are
not
stopped
by
high
taxation
nor
even
by
socialism
;
they
simply
adapt
themselves
to
new
rules
and
presently
they
change
the
rules
.
But
no
premiere
ballerina
ever
works
harder
,
nor
more
narrowly
,
than
a
man
who
acquires
riches
.
Captain
,
that
’
s
not
your
style
;
you
don
’
t
want
to
make
money
,
you
simply
want
to
have
money
–
in
order
to
spend
it
.
"
"
Correct
,
sir
!
Which
is
why
I
can
’
t
see
why
you
should
want
to
take
Mike
’
s
wealth
away
from
him
.
