The deep wrinkles of a drunkard's face, the foul language of a brawny bartender, the sad eyes of a wasted whore are replaced by the president's level gaze, by the only glimmer from the chandeliers in the inaugural hall, by Martin Lefkowitz as the munches on a chicken wing in a park outside the White House, muttering, "Yep, Ford's gonna be all right...

Its gaze is fixed on what appears to be a rifle ball, ricocheting in a spiral from the gun of a disembodied hunter.
