...story is soberly but evocatively set in middle-class New York City in the late 1930s-when double-decker buses still charged up Fifth Avenue and Danish pastry was as big as fielders' gloves; when the words "new" and "guild" and "theater" and "group" and "league" were always appearing in histrionic combinations on the drama pages; when "reasonable" men were still hoping that Hitler and Mussolini would turn out to be reasonable...

The hottest, most heavily defended area, of course, is the 60 sq. mi. surrounding Hanoi; American pilots call it "the Barrel." "You just develop tunnel vision," says Captain Richard E.

...leering title, bales of advance ballyhoo and the promise that it would expose the really "in" people in swinging London, this novel about a public relations man with an identity problem seems headed for bestsellerdom. A first printing of 40,000 copies has been ordered, the Literary Guild has snatched it up, paperback rights have been sold for six figures, and Paramount plans to film it. But nothing swings all that much in the book...
