It is part science fiction, part Washington Novel (Think Drew Pearson's novel, The Senator, films "Seven Days In May" and "The Manchurian Candidate") and part Christmas Novel. Some characters have been dropped and some of the principals are back. St. Nicholas is here, but his sidekick Black Peter is missing. Dean Clift, the president who was removed from office, still resides in a Maryland sanatorium. Televangelist Clement Jones still runs the White House.
