      Lenin of The Stars

      As we sit on the terrace in the oppressive jungle heat, I slide a shot of crystal clear vodka across the glass table.  The man who was once Senator Joseph McCarthy taps the rim with one index finger and chuckles.

      Come on now.  He shakes his head, smirking.  "You know I don't touch that stuff, Vladimir."
