Everybody whispers about him these days, senators and diplomats watching as he passes them in the hall, smiling and bowing with soft humor. How pleasant a man! How modest and unassuming!

Some ask, could he be the one to bring them back?
Perhaps, if his gentler nature survives.
The seasoned scoff: it won't.
