The Student, a young popular leader who organizes the first general strike, comes to symbolize the Communist answer to the Head of State's corrupt method.

He sifts through the histories of players, arenas, and American culture, with no particular emphasis on his own life. Of his better-known teammates he provides biographical accounts, which are almost always ironic reversals of the Chip Hilton hero-makes-good stories. He traces the life of Willis Reed from cotton-picking in Mississippi to knee...
