Yup, that's it: At the end of the blood-red brick road lies nothing more than a bodyguard with a handgun. It really is that simple. Exactly as it was in the case of RFK, when a corpulent racist in a cheap uniform destroyed a very different American future.
Now, the Romantics among us might lament the absence of a rather more prepossessing figure - I don't know, let's say, a Hapsburg nobleman, of long connection with AWD, armed no doubt with a cape, an eye-patch, perhaps a volume or two of Rilke, and, not forgetting, a state-of-the-art, Pentagon-approved laser death ray, well-suited for firing from storm drains - but we must deal with what is, not cheap pulp fiction.
And the cheap pulp fiction, in this instance, is that whole motley, unsubstantiated fantasy - a distinctively male one, at that - of co-ordinated teams of "mechanics," watchers, signal men, smoke-machine operators etc. This is comic-opera stuff: The professionals keep the core of their business uncomplicated and effective.
Which brings me to the very point I made to you at the outset: Are there researchers who insist upon a solution that reflects their own personalities? You've proved the intelligence of that question in spades.
