I can't imagine either. Really all the Military Industrial Complex had to do was ask the old man to step aside. Adlai was so congenial and civilized I'm sure he would have peacefully acquiesced

I've always thought this anticlimactic. "I'll wait" ooohhh scary. I appreciate, "Don't wait for the translation. Yes or no?", considerably more. I don't care what the historian say, Adlai blinked. I mean "ok I'll sit here and pout until you come around" isn't exactly banging your shoe on the table is it? meh.
