Professor Laurie Jameson barely starts her opening class lecture before it's over the top with leftwing ideology. She declares that her classroom is "a hegemonic free zone," but quickly runs afoul with one of her students. "Third" is the nickname of Jameson's student Woodson Bull III, an alumnus of Groton who wants to be a sports agent. What could be worse in the eyes of a leftwing professor—a youth that bespeaks privilege and an ambition to make lots of money in a job that is socially useless? The student becomes the target for Jameson's anger at the establishment. This is a story of power reversal, with the professor just as irresponsible as the powerful political figures she despises.
