The story

After his inauguration, U.S. President Judson "Judd" Hammond, an amiable party-line politician, tells his new secretary Harley "Beek" Beekman that two people may be admitted to his presence at any time: his young nephew Jimmy, and Pendola "Pendie" Molloy, Hammond's mistress, who is made Beek's assistant. At a press conference, Hammond says he will not meet with John Bronson, the leader of a million unemployed men marching to Washington, as he considers Bronson an anarchist, and also says he considers unemployment and racketeering to be local issues, and therefore not his responsibility.
