He reclined in his seat and watched through heavy-
lidded eyes as Lee was dragged bodily from the

in the tender flesh of his esophagus.  It was the 
same power that coursed through his veins at the 
firing of a gun, the recoil against his shoulder, a 
president's blood splattered on the pavement ...
