More than anything, Lyndon Baines Johnson wanted to be loved-by his family, his friends, his staff, the nation, everybody. He liked to envision himself as a benevolent dictator of the world, supplying every living soul with housing, clothing, a job and eternal peace. Fate could not have been more cruel, then, in denying him the love he craved, in making him so hated during the latter part of his presidency that he dared not venture outside the White House. In his bewilderment and despair, he ruefully asked: "How is it possible that people could be so ungrateful...

...imaginary novelist who followed the path of rigorous logic straight into absurdity. Since all writers, Paladión reasoned, borrow words and sometimes even phrases and lines from other writers, why not take this process as far as it can go?

Paladión, in short, attached his name to the works of other authors, including The Hound...
