THIRTY
YEARS AGO IN VIETNAM, Al Gore was captured by the Chinese and
subjected to deep, probing hypnosis. In an underground jungle laboratory,
his mind was erased and reconfigured, transforming the idealistic
son of a U.S. Senator into a single-minded puppet, programmed to one
day reach the White House. Today, with sympathetic agents installed
as his aides, his every move is manipulated from Beijing using an
ordinary deck of playing cards.
