In short, he was one of those early, daring manipulators who later were to seize upon other and ever larger phases of American natural development for their own aggrandizement.
And they have both paid the penalty since then of their follies, not to say crimes though a nation still suffers for them. The Party manipulators had now got their stranglehold on the country.

Here a string of big manipulators were trying to get in from below, sprouting claw hooks and grapples and pusher arms in all directions.
