Publisher's Synopsis
At 66, the elder Starbuck is about to go to prison for the third time. Over the past few decades, he has attended Harvard, edited a pioneering newspaper, been in the U.S. White House, and worked for imagined peace, wealth, and happiness. In the minds of some, he is a hero; in his own, he is a repeat offender - he has never risked his life for the sake of all mankind, and for many years he has been a "prisoner" following the instructions and rules of others. Now, he went to prison willingly. Because for him, everywhere is a prison.
