- A young man gains significant political influence as the leader of a counterculture rock band with his rallying cry of voting rights for teenagers.
- Wealthy 22-year-old Max Frost--born Max Jacob Flatow Jr.--is a rock music superstar, a franchise unto himself. He has cut all ties with his parents, especially his overbearing mother Daphne; he has always rebelled against her crushing control and now he is still rebelling by having an entourage of followers made up entirely of young people, who he believes know better than people even a few years older than they are. His eldest follower is his 24-year-old acid-dropping girlfriend, former child star Sally LeRoy; his youngest associate is 15-year-old Yale law graduate Billy Cage, his business advisor and his band's guitarist. Max decides to endorse 37-year-old Congressman Johnny Fergus, who is running on the Democratic ticket for a California Senate seat, as one of his platform policies is to lower the voting age to 18. Johnny happily accepts that endorsement because of Max's power over young people, whose votes Johnny is trying to court. But as Max--personally believing that the voting age should be 14 so that sharper youths like Billy can vote--sees that Johnny is not going far enough in his policies, Max figures the best way to get what he wants is to start his own political machine: first within the current regulations of the land, then, once "in", working from the inside out to change the laws to transfer the power from the "old"--anyone age 30and over--to the young. How far will Max and his followers will go to ensure that his vision of the world comes to fruition after all? And how far will the Establishment go to try to stop him and his followers?—Huggo
- Max Jacob Flatow Jr. is a precocious social miscreant with a way with homemade explosives. When he tires of them, he runs away from home, only to emerge seven years later as Max Frost, the world's most popular rock star. When Congressman Johnny Fergus uses Frost as a political ploy to gain the youth vote in his run for the Senate, Frost wills himself into the system, gaining new rights for the young. Eventually, Frost runs for the Presidency. Winning in a landslide, he issues his first Presidential edict: all people 30 years old will be forced into mandatory retirement and all people 35 years old and over will be forced to live in "re-education camps" for the rest of their lives where they will be permanently dosed with LSD, thus taking the 1960s catchphrase "Never trust anyone over 30" to its most extreme consequences.—Rick Gregory <rag.apa@email.apa.org>
- Max Frost, a 22-year-old rock star and millionaire, joins forces with a California politician to get the vote for 14-year-olds (hence the song "Fourteen or Fight!"). He continues his master plan by helping elect one of his groupies to the Senate. Max and his cohorts then resort to trickery to get Congress to lower the minimum age requirements for higher office, then heads to the White House with his youth-controlled police-state agenda.—Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>
