...Realpolitik, and happy-ever-afters soon dissolve. The day after her victory, Aquino found herself in charge of one of the world's most desperate countries, saddled with a foreign debt of $27 billion, 20,000 armed Communist guerrillas and a pile of government institutions that bore her predecessors' monogram...
...office. While rummaging through a bookcase, Massman stumbled on a red leather album embossed with a swastika. Flipping through the album, he saw 72 photos of World War I scenes, four of which showed a man who appeared to be the young Adolf Hitler.

He has forgotten to remove the linen napkin tucked between the buttons of his white shirt (he always wears white shirts, usually adorned with a wide, solid-color tie; the color of the little RR monogram stitched under the left breast varies). His glasses-rarely seen in public, where he tends to use contact lenses-are partway down his nose, and his lips are pursed as he silently sounds out phrases from the speech before him. Something does not ring right to his acute ear. He pauses, changes...
