...shoving incident was doubtless a reaction to many months of agony. All Presidents have had to endure pressures of one kind or another, but probably none has borne a burden like Watergate, with all the related charges of malfeasance and general immorality. White House aides freely admitted that their boss had been "grim" and "tense," that he had experienced "disappointment" and "frustration." But they denied that his mood was affecting his performance as President. In a statement remarkable because of the very need for it, Warren told reporters: "There is no question in the President's mind...
...Richardson, there is almost certainly no effective means of avoiding more and more such run-ins with his superiors in the future.

What if Matucci's own boss, the country's security chief, is actually part of a right-wing plot figureheaded by the dead general? What if a second apprentice tyrant is being groomed in the wings for a colpo di stato...
...again, here or someplace else, and I'll be talking to some other bastard, or maybe even you again, and we'll try another one and he'll go away again. Is there any end to this shit? Does anything ever change in this racket?" "Hey, boss," the prosecutor said, "don't take it so hard. Some of us die, the rest of us get older, new guys come, old guys disappear. It changes every...
