“May I ask this? Under what circumstances is it moral for a group to do that which is not moral for a member of that group to do alone?” “Uh . . . that’s a trick question.” “It is the key question, dear Wyoming.

“Prof shook head. “Every new member made it that much more likely that you would be betrayed. Wyoming dear lady, revolutions are not won by enlisting the masses. Revolution is a science only a few are competent to practice. It depends on correct organization and, above all, on communications. Then, at the proper moment in history, they strike.

I hope you will forgive me if I say that, up to now, it has been done clumsily.”
