Página 19 - So what you've got to do is break them down', Hearn said. 'Exactly. Break them down. Every time an enlisted man sees an officer get an extra privilege, it breaks him down a little more.
Página 20 - ... There are countries which have latent powers, latent resources, they are full of potential energy, so to speak. And there are great concepts which can unlock that, express it. As kinetic energy a country is organization, co-ordinated effort, in your epithet, fascism." He moved his chair slightly.
