door for the dog, which pell-melled
out, and led them across the street and
up the stairs.
They raced down the corridor. The
dog rushed past Room 2O8, where
Fishback's body had been found,
raised on her hind legs, pushed with
her front paws against the door of 206.
Grinnel tried couple of passkeys.
He opened the door and switched on

leash dragging on the floor.
There was nothing particularly dis
tinctive about the room. The furnish
ings we're conventional in their cheap

floor. The dog took few excited laps,
then ran toward Win, whining gently.
Win grabbed the leash. nodded to
Grinnel. He switched cut the lights,

Any one who has ever played
chess knows how each move in a game
interlocks with the other. You may
lose a semmingly unimportant pawn at
the fifth move, and finds that it has
lost you your king and the game at the
fortieth.
Chess players take their game SER
iouly and study its underlying theory,
although chess is only a game-a con-
test of wits in which the stakes are
trivial. The social struggle is no such
game. The stakes are too high; the
stakes are the life, fortune and happin-
ess of each of us. Yet there are leaders
in the struggle-leaders of the people
leaders that have our lives in their
hands-who cannot see further than
the next move, who have less theory e
knowledge Of what the struggle is all
about than the most amateurish stu
dent beginner in the game of chess.
