Ed Matthews and Jake Schweyer analyze the politics of the ‘Cold War’ and exchange views on the presidential politics of 1968. Initially, Ed has a penchant for loving and leaving women as a consequence of an unfaithful wife. Jake has only recently gotten over the loss of his fiancée, Pat, to ovarian cancer.
