...made apparent, as the hero successively changes his name, testifies in a trial as an eyewitness to events he never saw, and later, on seduction bent, "enters" a girl's life by pretending he knew her dead brother.

In the lead is Florida, which has rocketed ahead 95%-fueled by Cape Canaveral's missiles, by chemicals, and by carloads of tourists. After Florida, the heaviest percentage growth is in the nation's southwest quadrant. Texas with its petrochemicals, military bases and white-collar industries, California with its missiles and electronics plants, and Florida now account for one out of every six nonfarm jobs. Five Rocky Mountain states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada...
