When They Come from Space

The spacemen attacked with Earth's own weapons: big bombs, brass hats & Hollywood press agents. The spacemen had mastered all the tricks of Hollywood press agentry. They were conquering heroes, who had just saved the earth from destruction. They looked like men--young & handsome, brave but modest. They acted as if they wanted the whole world to like them. Two men knew it was too good to be true. One understood power, & could see that these visitors were experts in his own techniques of manipulating public opinion. The other man believed in the dignity of the human race, and hated to see people being fooled. He had to fight for his--& everyone's--right to choose their own destiny.
