Seven Days in May

Five-star red flag on the Capitol roof, October wind flapping it. A Marine colonel slides a single page across the Resolute Desk. Blank except the words “Operation May.” Generals nod at each other in mirror-lined war room. One fails to nod back. John Frankenheimer’s Cold War chess game ends before the pawns move.
