George Harland schemes to preserve his departmental standing; Henry Beeker stakes his career on stalling a policy; Catherine Duffy risks her life rescuing victims of an ill-conceived one; Jonathan Roe sets off the tripwires in textbook economics. And Cassie Armstrong, head of the department's women's unit, is driven to despair. Life is tense in West Block. Pigeons nest in the leaking roof. A move is it's feared the government plans to tear the building down. Old time bureaucrats are adjusting to a new, feminist presence in its corridors.
