It's hard to do megalomania justice in a blog post. Most readers have probably heard of Nicolae Ceausescu, former President and Communist Party boss of Romania. Ceausescu ruled the nation with an iron fist and a mischievous foreign policy from 1965 until his execution on December 25, 1989. "The anti-Christ is dead on Christmas," one man was quoted as saying in the New York Times from an article I remember following the Revolution. I can't begin to expound upon the impact of Ceausescu's policies and personality in such a short space. What I will cover is the impact his grand design for a Communist uber-capitol had upon the Bucharest skyline and the city's urban landscape.
