"41 Variations on R.C.J." addresses the inter-relationship we have as individuals to each other and to history. In politics elected officials/politicos/contractors, etc. have a deep inter-relationship and interdependence with each other. This is part of the political process; they work and interact with at least the minimum amount of cooperation. The inter-relations, whether it be as enemies or allies or patrons, drives their careers and adds to their successes or failures. The possibility of favors and betrayal from these allies and enemies is ever present. Every person with a career in politics or government always has at one time a close relationship with a figure that one would rather forget or ignore. Our history is part of our makeup. Sometimes past is prologue.
