the ad-industry reordering: Subsidized Time's placemat conception; the Tine/Luria subplot — "the famous Vienna, Virginia Szechuan steakhouse…"

The origin of the whole revenue-politics located in an adulterous dinner: Subsidized Time "was conceived on the back of a chintzy Chinese-zodiac paper placemat, by R. Tine" in a Vienna, Virginia steakhouse, with Tine's hand on the "Québecois fatale" Luria's knee. The calendar-auction that renames the years and funds the Reconfiguration is born of the same compromised intimacy that runs the U.S.-Canada intelligence war (029/031) — statecraft and the Tine/Luria affair, once more, the same event. The founding's central policy has a love-legend for a cause.
