The first book with no major new characters or milestones, but a lot of interesting contemporary stuff, as when Joanie debates the E.R.A. with Phyllis Schlafly.
USA 1977-1978.
Jimmy Carter er præsident, har en symbolminister, og er naiv og vil det gode. Dr. Kissinger underviser på universitetet og giver en kynisk realpolitisk analyse. Joanie Caucus bliver færdig, hvilket chokerer Zonker dybt. Joanie og Rick flytter sammen og Rick får arbejde for People, hvilket chokerer ham. Joanie tager job ved Lacey Davenport, Zonker dyrker den perfekte solbrændthed. Duke er ambassadør i Kina med Honey som tolk, men bliver afløst af Leonard Woodcock. Joanie havner i kongressens etiske udvalg. Duke bliver snydt i en handel med en fiktiv abrikosplantage og kommer på afgiftning. Kondiløbere dukker op i landskabet. Football-træningen bliver brugt til at diskutere Panama-kanalen. Jackie Onassis har en show more arvesag kørende, hvilket behandles af radioværten Mark Slackmeyer. Jimmy Thudpucker laver et nyt hit - med hjælp fra "Wah-Wah" Graydon på guitar. Roland Burton Hedley Jr. laver reportage om studenterlivet. Joanie bliver stedfortræder for Lacey i en debat og klarer sig udmærket.
Zonker skaffer Duke et job som gæsteforelæser i journalistik ved universitetet, men han får honoraret på forskud og går amok i stoffer. Jimmy Carter overvejer sin udenrigspolitik, mens iranerne protesterer mod Shahen. Duke bliver sportslæge ved Washington Redskins. Nguyen Van Phred bliver ny FN-ambassadør for Vietnam. Redfern bliver også sendt på tur med Carter, fordi redaktøren har checket hans biorytmer.
Duke skriver kontrakt (igen) med Lava-Lava Lenny. Marks far dukker op til gammel studenterfest og kommer med i radiostudiet. NBC prøver at trække seertallene op. Mark forsøger at trække lyttertallene op ved at interviewe Lacey Davenport om Etisk Udvalg. Zonker solbruner. Woodrow bliver ansat af det etiske udvalg hvilket bringer Joanie til fortvivlelse, navnlig da han får 30% mere i løn end hende. Men lønnen er heldigvis en fejl. Boopsie forlader B.D. for en stund for at tage til Memphis og besøge Elvis grav. Heldigvis har de meget smagfulde souvenirs, så hun kommer fx hjem med en kopi af gravstenen med et termometer på!
