ARGH!! That's right! We really should have something about
Big D's assassination. Maybe as an intro, kind of like
"Okay, this is a wake up call. If you didn't realize it
before, the shadows affect The Big Picture. Just look at
what happened to The Big D. That single event will have
reprecussions for decades to come, not only on a personal
level, but on a national, global scale. So to prepare you
ungrateful slags, at least a little, is what we playfully
refer to as the Neo-Anarchists Guide to the Globe (or
whatever we call it). Enjoy, and remember to conserve
ammo."
I think it works...

Nothing to major. Also, we *should* do a section on what
runners think
