...came haltingly down the ramp from Columbine III one evening last week at the Military Air Transport Service terminal in Washington. At the bottom of the steps President Eisenhower watched solicitously as he waited for his visitor. Then, with Churchill triumphant, Eisenhower stepped forward and thrust out his hand. "Hello, my friend," he said. "Glad to see you back again." Churchill, noticeably composing himself, replied: "I am indeed glad...
Jack Cabot is a Harvardman ('23) and Oxonian ('25), a good tennis and squash-rackets player, who tastefully collects art objects from around the world, and has a proper, frosty appearance. But the frost melts away when he smiles and stretches out a huge hand in greeting.

...Here is a story of a strange world and some troubled people," the dust jacket proclaims, "written by a young man who knows them at first hand." But how does Zane know them? Does he care? Does he approve? Does he condemn? Indeed, for the reader, does it matter? Wyeth and Steiner ultimately appear trivial and absurd. A child, at least, grows up; but the down-and-outs in Easy Living are adults gone to seed. They are grown men and women romping in diapers, shouting to attract our attention, aware of our criticism, scornful of our values, yet forever...
