...voracious fondness for pig-sticking and whisky. One of the subalterns, 2nd Lieut. Arthur Drake (Paul Jones), has come to the regiment with tunes of glory lilting in his head and an earnest determination to uphold the honor of soldiering. The other, 2nd Lieut. Edward Millington (Jeremy Clyde), the son of a general, is disdainfully disenchanted with the military. A kind of Victorian dropout, he intends to get busted and return to the bliss of civilian life.

Post-war writer John Cheever has increasingly employed random automobile deaths-both in his last collection of short stories (The Brigadier and the Golf Window) and his most recent novel (Bullet Park). And what, for that matter, is Ralph Nader's real message...
