Trigger turned to regard herself in the wall mirror on the right, which, she had noticed, remained carefully unobscured by drifting viewers and viewees. A thoughtful touch on the lounge management's part. "Until we walked in here," she explained, "I thought this was a pretty sharp little outfit I'm wearing." "Hmmm," Quillan said judiciously.
The management's chief business should be to take man as he is found on earth and place each one where he will accomplish the best results for both the organization and himself.
