Almost from the beginning, there was a tragic inevitability about the fratricide, focused in images of crisis and despair: the foreign community melting away, embassies being evacuated, the homeless seeking shelter, wall posters proliferating with the earnest faces of militiamen killed in the fighting...
...emotional cost is not so easily calculated. Lennon and McCartney both retreated, Paul seeking the shelter of quiet, closely restricted family life while John exorcised all his demons in public. Apart, they reveled in the sort of vocational excesses they had once checked in each other.

Rent-a-sheep requests have been pouring in from all over Germany, and Doris is thinking of expanding the business by selling partnerships to individuals.

Staying just far enough away from reality to parody it, Berliguer and the Professor mocks the present in its vision of the future. The irony lies heavy from the first chapter. Milan is referred to as "the natural shelter for all American, German and Swiss capital drawn by the stability of our currency." The "I" of the book, a secretary of Fanfani (the former head of the Christian Democrat party) who decides to write the history of the "compromise" finds it "impossible to view with indifference the achievement of a sixteenth subway line, which, together with eleven elevated highways...
