The piece condemns Senator Dirksen for urging Senator Kennedy to stay quiet about Vietnam and to pressure Nixon to fire generals.

The novel critiques modern journalism through a metropolitan newspaper setting. It portrays both the humorous and frustrating sides of the vocation, from dissatisfied readers to a journalist leaving for better pay, while questioning the thrill of influencing public perception.
