       Dedication

       To Drexel and Conan,

       both of whom should have been

       around a lot longer

       Epigraph

      There were a few short, wonderful years of euphoria when the slaughter was over. Of course, nothing had been settled and we knew it but, in its own way, watching the cataclysm hurtle toward us made the madness of the wild time even sweeter.

      —Günther Harden, Cocaine and Bullets: My Lost Years
