Behold a gazebo in a Victorian garden surrounded by an iron fence (which is surrounded by a much higher iron fence) on the grounds of a gigantic mansion (with a tower that's five stories tall), on an estate which encompasses an entire city block. Although once it was surrounded by other palatial estates it is now all alone, surrounded by apartment buildings and businesses. But, like a grande dame who is now of diminished circumstances, it maintains its dignity despite its bustling surroundings. There's stories of it being haunted (nothing like the glamorous dump I work at, though) and although it's not open to the public I did get a behind the scenes tour about 30 years ago, courtesy of a bartender I was good friends with who moonlit as security there part-time. I went there one night before he finished and he walked me through the whole place. He even took me up to the attic floor and showed me the original antique bowling alley, though he kinda hurried through that part. ...

He still lingers here. You can smell him before you hear him — that ghostly musk of flop sweat, Old Spice, and moral rot baked into the wallpaper of the West Wing. Richard Milhous Nixon, spectral and swollen with grievance, still pacing the Oval Office at 3 a.m., muttering about “the press” and “the Jews” and the long con of American virtue.

He’s the unkillable architecture of paranoia that powers the republic now — the data-mining, the black budgets, the men who believe the law is just a suggestion until someone leaks it. The only thing that’s changed since Watergate is that now, the bugs are in our pockets and we pay monthly for the privilege. He materialized to me last night, just after midnight, whe...
