We interrupt our regularly scheduled "Wealth is Life!" webcast to give you the scene at a far-flung Morgan Embassy...

Wump-wump-wump-wump!!
"What's that noise?" several interns wondered at once.
Ambassador Mead sighed. "Choppers on the roof," was the quiet reply. The interns' quizical looks cried out for an explanation. "It can mean only one thing," Mead continued. "Emergency evacuation. Get to the roof immediately."
"But-- our files!"
"Forget about those. This place has probably been bugged for months." Mead dropped his hand-computer, bent over to unlock a drawer in his desk, then addressed the hesitant: "What are you waiting for? Get up there."
The Ambassador pulled a holstered sidearm from the drawer and strapped it on. "This could get ugly," he muttered under his breath, to no one in particular-- the once-bustling office was now empty. A draft from the staircase blew papers onto the floor. Mead stepped on them without hesitation. Footprints smudged the oversized headings: "Treaty and Commerce Agreements."
