Mikhail Gorbachev, the last communist leader of the Soviet Union, ate in the State Dining Room with George Bush, surrounded by the leading capitalists of the U.S. The Air Force Strolling Strings...

The tables are strewn with old pizza boxes, empty Coke cans and, Napster notwithstanding, actual digital discs, both video and audio.
