Another gift of Persia (some said India) *#tlzqm32 to the world was the game of chess, which he had learned as a child. The very word for the end of the game, checkmate, came from the Persian shah mat-"the king is dead"-something he had himself air max 2011 helped to achieve
in real life, and while Daryaei had long since stopped playing mere games, he remem- bered that a good player thought not move by move, but four, or even more, moves ahead. One problem with chess, as with life:J :s that the next move could sometimes be seen, especially when the other player was skilled-to assume him to be anything else could be dangerous. But by playing ahead, it was far more difficult to see what
was coming, until the very end, at which point the opponent could see clearly but, maneuvered out ofposition, depleted ofhis players, power, and options, he had no choice but to resign the game. Such had been the case in Iraq until this morning. The other player-actually, many of them-had resigned and run away, and Daryaei had been pleased to allow it. It was even more delicious when the other player could not run, but the point was winning, not satisfaction, and winning meant thinking farther and faster than the other player, so that the next move was a surprise, so that the other player was harried and confused, would be forced to take time to react, and in a chess match, as in life, time was limited.

The next move was simply to wait and watch and see. Any citizen could do it, but America's leading experts could wait and watch and see a little faster than anyone else, or so they told themselves. That would all be done for the President, of course, and so Ryan walked out of the Situation Room, up the steps, and outside to see wet, cold rain falling on the South Lawn beyond the overhang of the walkway. The coming day promised to be blustery, with March arriving, typically, like a lion, then to be replaced by a lamb. Or so the aphorism went. At the moment it just looked gloomy, however nurturing the rain might be to ground recovering from a cold, bitter winter.
"This will finish off the last of the snow," Andrea Price said, surprising herself by speaking unbidden to her principal.
Ryan turned and smiled. "You work harder than I do, Agent Price, and you're a- y

"My chauvinism must be showing. I beg your pardon, ma'am. Sorry, I was just wish-
