synopsis
It is the year 2020. America has knocked out all of Mexico's communications—there are no phones, fax, or e-mail. Washington made its move in a fit of pique over Mexico's refusal to lower oil prices and its demand that the United States end its military occupation of Colombia. This is the context for a story about presidential succession.
