The Man Who Wouldn’t Stand Up
Arnold Brinkman is a shy and retiring botanist; he loves his plants more than his country. But when his refusal to stand for the national anthem at a baseball game causes a major media incident, he is thrown into a world of pushy patriots, preachers and press. And it’s not going to get any easier when he refuses to apologise.
