Then, again, we have the systematic widening of various thoroughfares, the shunting of tramways into traffic streams, and many amusing, expensive, and interesting tunnellings and clearances.
The clerk checked their forms, then nodded. "Okay. We can use both of you, if you pass the security check. Ever been cleared?" "We're both cleared for top secret," Rick told him. "What agency?" The clerk glanced up but made no comment. Rick guessed that JANIG clearances were not common.
Optimism was as natural as breathing. It was manifest destiny that cities and corporations and locomotives and armies and navies and national debts and daily newspapers, with their Sunday supplements, and bank clearances and tariffs and insurance companies and the price of living should go up. It was all according to a beautiful natural law, "as fire ascending seeks the sun."
