The World Of The 20th Century, If It Is To Come To Life In Any Viability Of Health And Vigor, Must Be To A Significant Degree An American Century.

To See Life. To See The World. To Watch The Faces Of The Poor, And The Gestures Of The Proud. To See Strange Things. Machines, Armies, Multitudes, And Shadows In The Jungle.

Business, More Than Any Other Occupation, Is A Continual Dealing With The Future; It Is A Continual Calculation, An Instinctive Exercise In Foresight.
