"Politico Strategic Planning Board. It's all pretty hush hush, but this term Terran Federation is a tentative name for a proposed organization to take the place of the U. N. if that organization breaks up. It's nothing particularly important, and it only exists on paper."

ucky coincidence to back him up. Trying to get books that don't exist out of the library, and then insisting that they're standard textbooks.

Or something he calls Operation Triple Cross, that saved the country during some fantastic war he imagined...." "_What did you say?_" The question cracked out like a string of pistol shots. Everybody turned. The quiet man in the brown tweed suit had spoken; now he looked as though he were very much regretting it. "Is there such a thing as Operation Triple Cross?" Fitch was asking. "No, no. I never heard anything about that; that wasn't what I meant. It was this Terran Federation thing," the major said, a trifle too quickly and too smoothly. He turned to Chalmers. "You never did any work for PSPB; did you ever talk to anybody who did?" he asked. "I don't even know what the letters mean," Chalmers replied. DONE SOMETHING JUST AS BAD ONLY IT DIDN'T HAVE A LUCKY COINCIDENCE TO BACK HIM UP TRYING TO GET BOOKS THAT DON'T EXIST OUT OF A LIBRARY AND THEN INSISTING THAT THEY'RE STANDARD TEXTBOOKS TALKING ABOUT THE REVOLT OF THE COLONIES ON MARS AND BAYONETS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING HE CALLS A TERRAN FEDERATION SOME KIND OF WORLD EMPIRE OR SOMETHING HE CALLS OPERATION TRIPLE CROSS THAT SAVE THE COUNTRY DURING SOME FANTASTIC QUARRY IMAGINE WHAT DID YOU SAY THE QUESTION CRACKED OUT LIKE A STRING OF PISTOL SHOTS EVERYBODY TURNED THE QUIET MAN IN THE BROWN TWEED SUIT HAD SPOKEN NOW HE LOOKED AS THOUGH HE WERE VERY MUCH REGRETTING IT IS THERE SUCH A THING AS OPERATION TRIPLE CROSS FITCH WAS ASKING NO NO I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THAT WASN'T WHAT I MEANT IT WAS THIS TERRAN FEDERATION THING THE MAJOR SAID A TRIFLE TOO QUICKLY AND TOO SMOOTHLY HE TURNED TO CHALMERS YOU NEVER DID ANY WORK FOR P B DID YOU EVER TALK TO ANYBODY WHO DID HE ASKED I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE LETTER MEANS CHALMERS REPLIED
