Monomania's monorail, on track

    I could swear, I'd read some-
    where, that the President of
    the United States had placed
    a call to congratulate a dic-
    tator on his election, after
    boasting last week, of lying
    to an allied Prime Minister;
  
    but that he didn't mind this
    being known, only that every
    advisor in his employ begged
    him not to dabble in treason.
