By the watch-fires in a hundred executive suites the truck owners marked their calendar on the first day of April—one year to go before the combat with the Teamsters—and prayed silently for the redemption of James Riddle Hoffa, and members of the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Teamsters curse his memory and fear his return.
Their fear is based on an ontological argument—an argument for the existence of Hoffa based upon the widespread existence of the idea of Hoffa. Hoffa exists, hence Hoffa is.
