Who's now been joined by Rupertheimer's old arch-enemy Killick Vokop, yet the canny Rupertheimer wins through, with the help of tough police General Kokkenbull. To finally arrive triumphantly, at the celebrated 1994 democratic elections, a glorious achievement unparalleled throughout history. Never before had a ruling elite willingly given up power, nowhere else had a single bold individual attained it, the \u003ci\u003eGreatest Game\u003c\/i\u003e series of books reveals who that remarkable individual was.\u003cbr\u003e Yet ever since his schooldays Rupertheimer has been plagued by two fanatic liberals, Thorn Thompson and Dick Clott now edit \u003ci\u003eLiberal Times\u003c\/i\u003e, where they freely express their own liberal rights. Uncle Randlord Rupertheimer no longer owns newspapers, he has sold their media empire, which allows Thorn and Dick free rein to attack Rupertheimer. \u003ci\u003eLiberal Times\u003c\/i\u003e is now owned by Irish media mogul Darby O'Gill, who is too timid to control journalists, Randlord Rupertheimer remonstrates with his friend Darby but to no avail, Until the shocking British paedophilia scandal, where the unfettered UK press of Darby O'Gill hack celebrity phones, yet are silent about rampant paedophiles like Jimmy Savile, \u003cbr\u003e Darby O'Gill is finally shamed into taking action, and he fires troublemakers Thorn Thompson and Dick Clott, who blame Rupertheimer and viciously strike back. In concert with an equally vengeful Killick Vokop, the embittered journalists stage a thieving raid on Hotazel Mine, but Rupertheimer and his now reformed uncle Barefoot Battelle thwart the diamond dogs. The series ends when the second generation, Roy Rupertheimer and Liza Jarvis marry, there is joy at the union but also a sombre warning.
