Babe is paying homage to his deceased father, H.B. Levy, in pursuing the same studies as he, the father who committed suicide while being under investigation in the Communist witch hunts. Babe's work does not sit well with Doc who wants Babe to move on with his life. While at Columbia, Babe meets and begins to date Elsa Opel, a foreign exchange student also in History. While out for a walk in Central Park late one night, Babe and Elsa are mugged, the unusual aspect of it being that their attackers were men in suits.

In the process, Babe learns that Szell's associates are after him believing that he was passed sensitive information by the deceased before his death.

In Babe discovering what's happening around him, his issue with Szell becomes personal.—Huggo
