...with a tomcat theater director; Naomi Shields, an alcoholic nymphomaniac who accommodates an entire jazz combo; Teresa Harnish, the arty wife of an art dealer who decides to find out from a Cro-Magnon beach bum how the other half loves. For a change of pace, the heroine is frigid, or thinks...

Stationed at U.S. bases around the world, the students are members of Maryland's booming Overseas Program for American servicemen. Just ten years old, the program may be having as much impact on U.S. education as the invention of the junior...
