In class. In front of his students. Terrified to return to the class, he is desperate to find some way to escape from teaching it. So, Pinzak agrees, against his principles, to serve as Associate Chair to the new, highly ambitious Chair, Maria Maldonado. Maldonado has two conditions. First, Pinzak will share with Maldonado insights from Machiavelli on how to run the department. Second, he will seek counseling from the university's psychiatrist, Zane Running. He accepts both.\u003cbr\u003eBut Pinzak's and Maldonado's Machiavellian schemes rattle the department and roil the campus, pushing Pinzak in the process to the edge of ruin.
