"We think we once wrote something, in connection with coincidence, about Thorvald Tandberg, of Detroit, missing a boat in 1898 that was sailing abroad — and then foundered off Cape Cod with her crew and all 157 passengers aboard. One of the summations we didnt get on that story is that if Mr. Tandberg had caught that ship — he missed it by one minute — was that America would have 51 less Americans today. For, surviving, Tandberg had many descendants, including 15 grandchildren and, thus, far, 31 great grandchildren. Today you got to watch your step crossing a street if you want descendants. Which shows how you narrow down the probabilities with the possibilities."
