...entire world, free and chained alike. Consumed by an inner hunger, this grotesque shadow of his dedicated and martyred brother aspires to our highest office, the earth's most awesome responsibility. An awkward, ungainly member of an attractive family, he nevertheless generates a perverse sort of magnetism and hypnotism on those who have forgotten or never knew.
