Heller, U. S. Senator from Illinois, finds the Democratic constituency unresponsive to his reelection campaign based on issues, speeches, personal appearances at shopping centers, coffee hours in the suburbs, and downstate tours. Faced with steadily decreasing percentages in the pre-election polls, Heller employs a media specialist and revamps his entire campaign based on media events for television. The plot sometimes moves slowly, but the author has successfully captured the prevailing mood of modern political campaigning and has clearly stated his position concerning the situation. The State of Illinois is the stage on which this drama is played, and the rural areas, college towns, suburbs, and inner city are drawn equally well.
