Publisher's Synopsis
A retired college professor is unexpectedly called back to teach a new course on "starting a democracy from scratch." The course will allow graduate students, all classroom teachers themselves, to move up the salary scale. He meets enthusiasm from some students, indifference from others, hostility from the college administration, and outrage from well-established political groups. Some of the students are original thinkers, some are non-thinkers, and one student seeks to seduce the professor.
