During the late 1980s, he chartered a jet to fly dozens of friends to a multimillion-dollar party in London to celebrate the launch of his private yacht, modeled after Queen Victoria's.

As politics declines ever further, he has taken on the task of revitalizing civic life, which if successful will only raise the clamor for him to salvage politics as well. Perhaps the odor will get so bad that the presidency will be virtually handed to him, a four-star general of his own all-volunteer army...
