Clifford, who has no practical magazine experience, is nonetheless a chip off the old block: he went to military school, followed by finishing first in his class in business school. And he has traditional conservative values and ideals... or so he would like his father to believe. Once the Colonel and Nick are gone, the real Clifford emerges. In reality, he is a long haired (which was hidden underneath a short-haired wig), meditating hippie with not a conservative thought in his head. Under his two week stint, Clifford decides to take the magazine in a whole different direction, one that appeals more to his hippie sensibilities. Doris feels that it is not her responsibility to counter any of Clifford's directives, but she will probably be the one who has to reconcile Clifford's decisions to Nick and especially the Colonel upon their return.
