BIG CHEESE

by lyndon mallet

1960. A leap year in every sense - the dawn of an era that will rock tradition at its roots. In January, John Fitzgerald Kennedy announces his candidacy for President of the United States. In February, Harold McMillan makes his 'Winds of Change' speech. In August, The Beatles play at the Indra Club in Hamburg. And in September, 13-year-old Matthew Goodie begins his first term at boarding school, where tradition and ritual eclipse everything that goes on outside its walls. Here he learns that in this enclosed world there is only one power that counts, and it has a BIG CHEESE.
