Now that our fabulist President
has dispatched his Secretary of
State to concoct a libretto for
an abduction from an Ottoman ser-
aglio gone awry, all confidently
anticipate an enormous enhance-
ment of his original premise, a
band of rogue murderers infil-
trating one autocrat's embassy
in another's secured city, only
to chop the captive for lunch.
Much prettier music, much mer-
rier ribaldry; with a score al-
ready in the public domain, by
no less than Mozart. Ah, so much
to dazzle: who could rue the in-
cidental disappearance of the
corpus delicti? Take that, O.J.
