Part 3: Chapter 3 Analysis

In this chapter we find ourselves asking about the future. Does the beat go on with Adlai? Another generation of politician? He, too, has flaws resulting from the dysfunction at home. He hadn't been able to get into Harvard, but he attends another institution in Cambridge so he can imply that he is, in fact, enrolled at Harvard. He is certainly trying to follow in his father's footsteps in his efforts to organize this event.
