There is a compelling reason for him to reappear at key meetings of the Party Central Committee and the Supreme Soviet this week: his continued absence would signal physical weakness that could have substantial political consequences, including Politburo discussions as to whether he is strong enough to stay on the job. On the other hand, if the truth is that Andropov is simply continuing to recover from a debilitating illness, his failure to appear would have far less meaning.

...state of Assad's health, always a crucial question in a one-man regime like Syria's, has become a subject of intense worldwide speculation. Syrian officials announced last month that their leader had suffered an attack of appendicitis. That diagnosis lost credibility when the patient failed to reappear for two weeks and word spread that he had had his appendix removed 20 years ago.

It means that any character can appear, simultaneously, in as many fictions as the random may require." This is meant to explain why characters who die in Duluth can reappear in a TV show of the same name or a romance novel by a Rosemary Klein Kantor. Duluth is dislocated along the Mexican border next to "the winding Colorado River that empties into palm-lined Lake Erie...
