This week in the saga

The first feast of the new order: a raised glass at Thanksgiving, and a phone still working the table's edge to keep a furnace company's jobs in Indiana. Abroad, an old island dictator dies and gets four words. At home, the defeated demand recounts — and the victor, unwilling to share even a sliver of the night, answers with the first great myth of the reign: millions of phantom votes.
