"And yet, he was the very reason we were still existing." The shrink scrawled notes. Seen on a computer video screen. "Real time, democracy in action, embodying the Republic, living legacy. Most of the others were dead, but not all were really dead."
"And it came down to that?"
"Yes. But only because we are America not the world. And he couldn't not be himself."
"The truth will set you free?"
"The truth will set you free."
It was total chaos on every monitor in the room where the actress and director had come to observe a new kind of news. The very notion of 24/7 had proven to be the revelations. "Someone should get out there," one of the bosses said as if in prison on the moon. "For what?" A person glued to a particular monitor with six screens on one asked. The boss of the bosses held out a master remote and clicked the room dark. His voice was still gravel from assuming the mantel of leadership/ownership. "It's time. For a meeting. Bring the coffeepot."
