提到上杉的这个姓氏，人们第一反应往往是军神“上杉谦信”，或是他的侄儿丰臣五大老之一的“上杉景胜”，却几乎无人会想起这部剧的主人公 - 上杉鹰山。确实，就算是在日本人中，时至今日，他也不算一个十分知名的人物，因为他的身上不具备那种历史人物的“偶像气质”。 　　两任美国总统，J.F.肯尼迪和B.克林顿访问日本时，都将上杉鹰山，列为他们最佩服的日本政治家，以至于日本的媒体当时都惊呼“上杉鹰山是谁？” 　　上杉鹰山是米泽藩第九代当主（第一代为上杉谦信）。上杉家由于关原之战的战略失败和之后一些储嗣的问题，造成领地从关原之前的一百二十万石下降到十五万石。收入缩水85%但家臣人数和支出并未相应减少，造成米泽藩财政赤字大增，到鹰山这一代时已接近崩溃的边缘。 　　鹰山所要作的是打破旧思维，励精图治实行改革。但改革无论在什么时代，都会遭遇保守势力的阻力，且看鹰山如何将其一一化解。

What are a few references among friends? But for Cal and his circle, it’s hardly a few. They barely conduct a single conversation that doesn’t revolve around architecture, literature, theology, history. Each set of ideas leads seamlessly into the next, until the flow they form is endless, there are always more footnotes, theoretical perspectives, cantos, translations to cite, so many ways of keeping everyday life at bay. When Cal, Evelyn, Chris et al. exchange all this absurdly specific knowledge, they do so with such earnest relentlessness that it’s hard to suppress a smile, although melancholy is never far away. Cal is frequently by himself, turning pages in silence in shadowy rooms, while Evelyn paces the streets of Philadelphia when she can’t sleep, at night, alone. Even when the group gets together, they often remain apart in the frame with no wider shot to connect them, one face holds forth, another stays silent, are they even in the same place at all? Evelyn wishes it were possible to speak more directly, but perhaps that’s the defining feature of the period, not the classical one, this one. You speak, you listen, there’s nothing in between.

On December 23rd, Korean War veteran George Haverstick and nurse Isabel Crane - who George lovingly refers to as "Little Bit" - get married in a civil ceremony. They met when George was admitted to Belvedere General Hospital in St. Louis for a nervous shake, with Isabel being his night nurse. They got married immediately following his release, which occurred despite the doctors never discovering the reason for his affliction. They plan on honeymooning in Miami, and stopping in suburban High Point, Tennessee along the way to visit George's best friend, fellow Korean War vet Ralph Bates, and Ralph's wife of six years, Dorothea Bates. By the time they arrive on the Bates' doorstep on Christmas Eve, George and Isabel are hardly speaking to each other when they aren't yelling at each other as each had a preconceived notion of their role in the marriage incompatible with the other, and a romanticized view of how the other should behave. Ralph's marriage is currently in no better shape. Dottie has just left him, taking their infant son Junior with her. Although he never stated such to her, Ralph married insecure Dottie despite not loving her because her wealthy father, for who he worked, promised him the family business as an inheritance. Ralph and Dottie's current problem is primarily because Ralph could no longer stand her parent's pretentious and overbearing ways, both professionally and personally. Although Ralph, George and Isabel seem blind to the source of and solution to their own marital problems, each seems to have a clearer view of what ails the other couple and how best to fix their marriage.
