...deal locals say was unfair. Masrun went from being a modest stakeholder to a day laborer earning, until recently, 15 a day. Several months ago, the revived nagari council decided to take back the land, and the private firm agreed to give it up. Masrun, with a toothless smile, says he's now free to sell whatever he harvests, and he's earning 10 times more than before.

After the heist of the White House gifts, after the shady pardon of Marc Rich and the latest brother-act pardons of the Clinton Going-Out-of-Business sale--long after Monica--he emerges on 125th Street, larger even than himself. He is the fallen preacher, the three-card-monte dealer, and the best of all time. And he is going to bless and disappoint and fool us again...
