This week in the saga

Christmas at the gilded seaside palace — and between the carols, talk of expanding arsenals. A flattering letter arrives from the eastern president and is gladly received; the United Nations is dismissed as a club for people to have a good time; and across the frozen city the old king and the new trade their final barbs. He would have won, says the departing president. NO WAY, says the chronicle's protagonist.
