She had never had any time for what endured. Change everything! Rip it up! He said: "If you succeed you will make it impossible for anybody like you, in one or two generations' time, to come along." She celebrated this vision of her own obsolescence. If she ended up like the dodo -- a stuffed relic, _Class Traitor, 1980s_ -- that would, she said, certainly suggest an improvement in the world. He begged to differ, but by this time they had begun to embrace: which surely was an improvement, so he conceded the other point.
