[edit] Plot
An older (49) conservative columnist (Richard Crenna) and a young (23) liberal photographer (Bernadette Peters) become romantically involved. The complications of their politics and the age difference provide the story lines. The setting was Washington, D.C. The style of the show was described as "...almost constant hysteria, the rapid pacing set to the sounds of argumentative shouting." (John J. O'Connor, New York Times TV View, September 26, 1976, page D29.)
