...Floyd Patterson House, Walt was the youngest of ten children in my group, but by far the toughest and most severely disturbed. Nobody knew quite what to do for Walt. He needed enough to eat, clothes to wear, adults to model himself after, toys to play with, a place to live. He needed and asked for lots of love, support and dependability. He got none of these-and it enraged him. He had learned to suspect everyone, and if he thought he was being crossed or cheated, his anger was uncontrolled. At first, he would kick a door, his eyes...
Until the overthrow of King Idris last September, Libya was an oasis of Western opportunity between Egypt and Algeria. But in the four months since a group of young army officers seized power, much of that has changed. Last week U.S. Ambassador Joseph Palmer acceded to the wishes of Strongman Muammar Gaddafi, who demanded that the U.S. withdraw entirely from Wheelus airbase outside the city.

He alternately delights and infuriates conservatives, New Left radicals and almost every group in the crowded middle road...
...prime apostle of self-destruction in the group is Clive, a mathematician and galloping fantasist. Deserted by his family and raised in the ghetto, he seems demoniacally set on the destruction of the others. After Stoker presumably jumps off a building and Adler drowns himself in a greenhouse fish tank, Stoker's father-a square but sympathetically drawn colonel-sets out to unravel the mystery and discovers that suicide has turned into murder...
