...glorious part of the age of steam and the steamer trunk, and it was a remarkable performance. But not even old Karl Baedeker could have done it in today's Europe, although his descendants continue the guides competently enough.

Old Pro John Hersey has a deeper purpose than picturing the humiliation of being young, however. Combining the sound reporting skill he employed in A Bell for Adano, and The Wall with the wild imagination he showed in The Marmot Drive and White Lotus, he has tried to explore the collegiate mind, to understand why today's undergraduates are so hard to communicate with, so susceptible to aimlessness, boredom and rebellion...
