September 1968. The University of California, Berkeley. Four students enroll in a busy year. Karl observes and is buffeted about by events. Desiree, Cassey and Niles attempt to control their lives by laying plans and striving for their completion. But incidents accelerate, and unsettling consequences develop, for them and for Lee, who transfers in a year later. For five years Berkeley was a bubble, different from the times before or after. The students, the University and the city itself separated from mainstream America while the remnants of dying music, bitter love and fallen flowers foreshadowed the ordeal of the hard Nixon years ahead. Each group, each person?-all young, aware and impatient?-advanced their own agenda. No compromises! Force the inactive to move! Solve problems through enlightened processes! End injustice to benefit society! No single voice was heard; no leader was followed. The sinews of trust binding Americans together had been stretched to the limit and now snapped, supplanted by a cultural revolution of drugs and music. It was a time to grouse, gripe, and complain--a time to BITCH.
