...first lecture in James Q. Wilson's and Richard Herrnstein's Soc Sci 151, "Crime, Human Nature, and Social Organization," students stood and applauded Herrnstein. When Stephens had last attended classes at the University, students almost daily picketed Herrnstein's lectures for what they believed were his unscientific, racist views on the inheritability of intelligence.

...empty as the railroad's commitment to his father. Lavette's wife was cold; his children were indifferent to him; he had lost the only woman he really cared about--his Chinese lover--because it would have been difficult to take her as a wife in racist San Francisco. When the crash of 1929 finally called Lavette's bluff, he was at the mercy of the bank holding his loans. Banks, of course, were not in the business of giving mercy, and Lavette lost his empire...

There's also a politically ambitious mayor (Richard Paul) who looks like Bert Lance and, in the opening episode, an off-screen visit by the President himself. Surely Brother Billy will visit Carter Country before too long...
