She is a socialist and is active in the anti-Vietnam War movement. She uses her position as a journalist on a national newspaper to advance her cause. Their story is told by their young neighbour, Jim, who is drafted and serves with Tom in Vietnam. Jim hears neither the call to arms nor the call of the anti-war movement. He is simply a bystander forced by the draft to play a part in the war. Jim continues his friendship with Janet, despite Tom's warnings.
