On December 16, 1989, Nicolae Ceaușescu was very firmly in control in Romania.

One little overstep the next day, and on Christmas Day he -- left office -- rather abruptly.

“...on Christmas Day he — left office — rather abruptly.”

Well do I remember that. I had a very left wing friend (not a commie) who had said to me: no matter what the Communists in Romania will stay in power, they rule with an iron fist.

I’ll never forget seeing the headline on the NY Times, just a few days later.

The harder they come, the harder they fall.
