Without history or features or known nationality, Dennis' Everyman is technically some sort of soldier, but as he explains early, "I am a victim, not a soldier." A very ignominious victim he is, unable even to get himself captured with the rest of his surrendering battalion. He was left behind because, in terror, he had hidden in a closet. An enemy soldier consents to take him prisoner, but then steals his spectacles, thus further cutting him off from the world, and forgets him. Here cowardice becomes the better part of valor. The hero takes refuge in an abandoned greenhouse...
...cheaper LP is not necessarily an inferior one, as buyers of RCA Victrola, Everyman, Richmond and Nonesuch recordings long ago discovered. This fall three more companies-Angel, Philips and Epic-using various economies, are releasing dozens of performances, some old, some new, at about...
...that time, his primary sales experience had been as a marketing man for the American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp. and as a fund raiser for Connecticut's Trinity College, of which he had been president.

After his announcement last week, a score of names were bruited about as possible successors; they ranged from Richard M. Nixon to Walter...
While this is hardly a picture of the typical American family, it does represent a pressing moral problem that has been largely obscured by the more dramatic issues of war, sex and civil rights. The problem is the erosion of Everyman's conscience about how he conducts his everyday life in less spectacular areas. A nation's ethical climate is made up of small, half-automatic decisions taken by ordinary people in response to life's daily bumps and urgings. That climate in the U.S. today seems far from salubrious...
