Life has recast them as a pudgy, crooked mayor grubbing for re-election (Charles Durning), a philandering, strip-mining moneybags (Paul Sorvino), an amusingly cynical alcoholic (Walter McGinn), and his bitter school superintendent of a brother (Michael McGuire).

Randy begins to confuse painters' helpers with Santa helpers, the NLF with NEE, and even his CRIMSON pieces soon reflect his bewilderment at world events. In short, Randy is shaken out of his Eastern mold and recast as an alienated intellectual, writing on one essay into personal journalism during his junior year, "I am lost. And words are useless. The pieces no longer fit together...
