<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Andromachus Slade was a statesman on the planet [[Altronis]], notorious for having delayed, for nearly 100 local years, the [[Corpocracy]]&#039;s assumption of power. <br /> <br /> ==Early Life and Career==<br /> <br /> When Slade entered politics, the corpocracy was ascendant; but Altronis&#039; government considered of multiple quarrelsome oligarchies, each feigning Republic and desperate, for no intelligible reason, to out-manouvere the others. By careful and ruthless subterfuges (including the disgrace and murder of other politicians, whereof neither was traced to him in his lifetime), he became a prominent advisor to Thomas Robamey, some time President of the faux-republic in which he lived. As a rule, he seldom offered advice or made himself obvious, except in a crisis or two, and never sought a top-job for himself, but helped two others (including the President) into the same, where he could easily control the country through them.<br /> <br /> ==Claim to Fame==<br /> During the second half of Slade&#039;s career, a consortium of blackmailers detonated a nuclear weapon by remote-control, and threatened to do so again if the then-incomplete corpocracy&#039;s Chief Executive Officers were not imprisoned and impoverished. Against national policy of taking the corporations&#039; side of any dispute, Slade persuaded President Robamey to place the Executives under house-arrest; trace the blackmailers; and render both powerless. By so doing, Slade allowed the national governments to regain some lost sovereignty, which they did not lose again until 100 years later.<br /> <br /> ==Death==<br /> Andromachus Slade died of poison (administered by an opponent of his most-famous rôle) at the age of 85.<br /> <br /> ===Later Uses of his Name===<br /> [[A.E. Clipson]] nicknamed himself &#039;Slade&#039; during his membership on [[Ransom&#039;s Crew]]; and the name is also applied to a minor villain of the [[IDF Script]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Course Books]]</div>
