¶ Ship (3)
Index Entry
Ship:
"those whose foresight and comprehensiveness and thoroughness of realized competence effected the actualities of history, are found to have recognized in their major strategies that secrecy and closed-mouthedness in respect to the great ventures proved most effective insurance towards the day when ‘our ship comes in.’
“For this very reason the most effective strategies of men have been temporarily lost to history and historical accounting has been made in a myriad of secondary and almost irrelevant legend manufacture. As new day tools allow us to go to oceans bottom, and above all allow us greater perspective of time and distance, we have been able to reintegrate into informative pattern the outstanding historical fact that the whole concept of shipbuilding out of all the best resources to accomplish the highest limits of schedule performance, represents not only the essence of the meaning of ‘priority’ in access to the most effective commonwealth means, but over and above this identity to discern also that synergetic effectiveness was the very essence of the word ‘wealth’ itself.”
