This week in the saga

The strangest dinner party of the saga: the emperor of the East is served chocolate cake while fifty-nine cruise missiles are already in the air. For one week the reign looks exactly like the presidencies it replaced — a solemn podium, a foreign strike, a justice sworn in among the blossoms — and the chronicle notes how easily the outsider wears the old crown when it suits him. The armchair strategist's note on runways is the reminder that he narrates even his own wars like television.
