``` Debt, economic decline, immigration; hippies, anti-government, freedom. At the end of the 1980s, a wave of change encompassed a country boy from the Rust Belt.

To become part of the 1%, or even 0.1%, he sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot. ```

Chapter 163 Notice in the Newspaper

Dean, awakened by two phone calls, could only get up early to prepare for his return to San Francisco.

Poor guy, he hardly slept last night; the party broke up after three in the morning.

Even though Jennifer Connelly was eventually taken away by his mother Irin, Dean still had a pretty wonderful night with her.
