...general run of summer fiction, Wallach's fable is funny enough. He tells of a soulful young swimming-pool salesman who leaves Manhattan because "inside stuffy little apartments a million parakeets mess up their cages and refuse to say an intelligent word"-a conception subtle with the flavor of Zen-Zen, the West Coast's cultural mouthwash. In California, the hero sells pools frantically, working toward that aqueous millennium when "canoe trips from San Francisco to Tia Juana would be feasible, all by swimming pool and with no portage more than thirty yards...

And the strange rhythms of U.S. natives, as recorded in the waxings of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, are now familiar in a region where no American had ever lived until Hamlett came there six months...
London. To make way for a new road junction, London's urban planners recently decreed the destruction of The Elephant and Castle, a fabled 200-year-old pub, which lent something of the raffish, robust flavor of 18th century England to the whole London district of Southwark...
