do you mean, Pat?" Ross growled. She turned to him. "We haven't given Don the chance to prove which one of us is right. One day is insufficient. Half the things he wished to do, such as sneaking around picking up stock tips in Wall Street and inside information on sporting events...." "Hey, take it easy," Crowley protested. "I was just, like, curious." Ross said heatedly, "That's not fair. I'll admit, I, too, thought of exactly the same possibilities. But _thinking_ about them and going through with them are different things. Haven't you ever thought about what you'd do if given the chance to be world-wide supreme dictator? But, truly, if the job was offered, would you take it?" "Good heavens," Patricia said disgustedly, "remind me to break off our engagement if I haven't already done it. I hate overpowering men. All I'm saying is that we'll have to give Don at least a week. One day isn't enough." Dr. Braun cocked his head to one side and said uncomfortably, "I'm not sure but that in a week's time our friend Don might be able.... See here, Don, do you mind going on down to the hotel's bar while we three talk this through?" Crowley obviously took umbrage at that, but there was nothing to be done. Frowning peevishly, he left. The doctor looked from one to the other of his associates. "By Caesar, do you realize the damage friend Don could accomplish in a week's time?" Patricia laughed at him. "That's what I keep telling the two of you. Do you realize the damage _any_ person could do with invisibility? Not to speak of giving it to every Tom, Dick and Harry in the world." Ross said, "We've started this, lets go through with it. I back Pat's suggestion, that we give Don sufficient serum to give him twelve hours of invisibility a day for a full week. However, we will ration it out to him day by day, so that if things get out of hand we can cut his supply." "That's an idea," Patricia said. "And I suspect that within half the period we'll all be convinced that the process will have to be suppressed." Ross leaned forward. "Good. I suggest we three keep this suite and get Don a room elsewhere, so he won't be inhibited by our continual presence. Once a day we'll give him enough serum for one shot and he can take it any time he wishes to." He ran his beefy hand back through his red crew cut in a gesture of satisfaction. "If he seems to get out of hand, we'll call it all off." Dr. Braun cleared his throat u
