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.
