At the present session of the United Nations in Paris, we, together with the British and the French, offered a plan to reduce and control all armaments under a foolproof inspection system. This is a concrete, practical proposal for disarmament. But what happened? Vishinsky laughed at it.
Rick nodded. He felt that way, too. The entire rocket had been checked out by teams of never less than two. Each man checked the other's work and both had to agree that all was in perfect order before the piece was accepted and checked off. Each man had to account to a guard before he could go to work. The system was foolproof.
So he set his inventions to the task of evolving a blackmailing snare which might be set and sprung, and afterwards dismantled and hidden away without the intervention of the female knave of the species in any of its stages. Trust him smooth as lubricating oil, a veritable human graphite to turn the trick. He turned it. The upshot was a lovely thing, almost foolproof and practically cop-proof.
But trying to work out a foolproof plan would be a waste of time when she didn't know just what she was up against. This should give her a running start, a long one. When should she leave? Right now, she decided. Commissioner Tate presumably would be informed that she had applied for a transfer and that the transfer had been denied.
All of us all the Academy top brass develop a foolproof test for cadet maneuvers. And then your young Corbett makes us look like amateurs." "But didn't you expect one side or the other to win?" asked Strong. "Of course, but not like this. We've been expecting a couple of days of maneuver, with both sides making plenty of mistakes that we could call them on.
But the climax came when he managed to bug the safety catch on the foolproof ash elevator and took a 20-foot drop with about a ton of loaded ash cans. He only had a leg broken, at that, but it was three or four months before he came limpin' out of the hospital to find that the buildin' agent didn't care to have him on the payroll any more. Somehow Henry got his case before Mr.
Should soldiers think freely about war? What then will become of military discipline?" This fear is natural and inevitable, but it is none the less dangerous and discreditable. Human arrangements are no longer so foolproof as they may once have been when the world moved far more slowly than it now does.
"And I was hoping your plan was foolproof. I was about to buy stock in the Mob." The amusement in his eyes belied the words. Hartson Brant laughed. "I'm glad you're the one that stuck a pin in his bubble, Steve. The way Barby bakes cakes, I'm not sure Rick could ever break one to get the file out." Steve chuckled. "The records are full of foolproof get-rich-quick schemes like this one.
It was one place where theoretical searchers could expect her to show up. She could pay for her ship reservation at the bank. Then to a store for some clothes and a suitcase for the trip.... And, finally, into some big middle-class hotel where she would stay quietly until a few hours before the ship was due to take off. That seemed to cover it. It probably wasn't foolproof.
