Dean Corde is a man of position and authority at a Chicago
university. He accompanies his wife to Bucharest where her mother,
a celebrated figure, lies dying in a state hospital. As he tries to
help her grapple with an unfeeling bureaucracy, news filters
through to him of problems left behind in Chicago. A student had
been been murdered and Corde had directed that charges be pressed
against two black youths, but controversy and pressure are mounting
against the university administration. Further, a series of
articles written by Corde has offended influential Chicagoans whom
he had counted as friends. Corde is troubled: at home the centre is
not holding firm, in Eastern Europe authority is cruel and
dehumanising.
