HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

When Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's hero, Frankenstein, endowed his
synthetic robot with a human heart, the monster which before had been a
useful mechanical servant suddenly became an uncontrollable force. Our
ancestors feared that corporations had no conscience. We are treated to
the colder, more modern fear that, perhaps they do.
-- A. A. Berle, Jr. (1895-1971)
