Set in the winter and spring of 1971, the story takes place in Monmouth, Oregon, where six nineteen year old students meet on a cold January night. The Equal Rights Amendment was just a whisper and even the Viet Nam war barely touched their lives. A teachers school, Oregon College of Education was a small institution on a quiet campus in a dry town. Only a few students had cars; walking and hitchhiking were common. Telephones were a rarity. Dorms were gender-specific at OCE and visiting hours were strict--no men allowed after 11:00 and room doors had to be left open. At least as sophomores, the girls had some freedom from curfew if they lived in the dorm. ALLEYCAT is the story of Alex, Cal, Judy, Neil, Renee, and Savannah and the unlikely friendship they formed in a diner called Alleycat.

When all is well, this gene constantly scans our cells to ensure that when they grow and divide as part of the routine maintenance of our bodies, they do so without mishap. If a cell makes a mistake in copying its DNA during the process of division, p53 stops it in its tracks, sending in the repair team before allowing the cell to carry on dividing.

Through the personal accounts of key researchers, the book reveals the excitement of the hunt for new cures--the hype, the enthusiasm, the lost opportunities, the blind alleys and the thrilling breakthroughs. As the long-anticipated revolution in cancer treatment tailored to each individual patientΓÇÖs symptoms starts to take off at last, p53 is at the cutting edge.
