"Here is a real, positive outlet," says Gibbs Kinderman, 23, who with his wife Kathy, 24, daughter of Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., directs a poverty program in Appalachia. Laurance Rockefeller Jr., 22, great-grandson of John D., obliquely justifies his work as a $22.50-a-week VISTA volunteer in Harlem: "Beyond affluence, what?" Answers Co-Worker Tweed...

The prose in this first novel by Mary Ellin Barrett, daughter of Composer Irving Berlin, sometimes rises a little too high on its toes and ends up breathless.
