Memories of the Ford Administration

When a history professor - Alfred Clayton, the hero of John Updike's fifteenth novel - is asked to record his impressions of the Ford Administration, he recalls a turbulent piece of personal history as well: his unfinished book on 19th-century president James Buchanan.

Cand unui profesor de istorie - Alfred Clayton, eroul celui de-al cincisprezecelea roman al lui John Updike - i se cere sa-si consemneze impresiile despre Administratia Ford, el isi aminteste si de o bucata tulbure din istorie personala: cartea sa neterminata despre presedintele secolului al XIX-lea James Buchanan.
