I don't know.  One of the points I take from the movie relates to an idea
that's been a significant part of my meta-narrative for a long time, in my
critique of capitalism, authority, that is that the psycohistory of the Big
Cigars powers the crushing materialism of the masses.  Besides, I just like
seeing people who looked like those people, doing disgusting things,
especially Kissinger.  And I reveled in Watergate, just simple indulgence.
