Despite his seeming success in becoming what Sociologist David Riesman has called an "other-directed" person, Hal Hingham develops a bad case of jitters. At novel's end, he goes in search of the great confidence man himself and, in a sardonic, O. Henry-sudden finale, finds Dr. Modesto rattling the bars in a progressive insane asylum.

The Russians know that the far-flung Amangtak-wena tribe is expecting its chief witch doctor to have a "dream," i.e., to receive from the spirit world an oracular directive...
...faculty at Leopoldskron, in addition to a small group of Europeans, consists mainly of professors from more than three dozen American colleges and universities. Such notable scholars as sociologist Margaret Mead and University Professor Zechariah Chafee, Jr., serve without pay to offer Europeans one of their few opportunities to observe American culture first hand...
