Joanie flies to California for law school. Zonker comes along, and we are introduced to his Uncle Duke, one of the most ineptly malevolent misanthropes in the comics. At this time, he is a reporter for "Rolling Stone". Joanie meets her roommate and soon-to-be best friend, Ginnie, and her gadabout boyfriend, Clyde. Nixon resigns and the stonewall in front of the White House is torn down. The last cartoon in the book is a particularly poignant one about the demise of JFK's "best and the brightest" visionaries.
