...attended Hotchkiss, Class of '45, and the U.S. Navy, Class of '46--the first offering a large measure of extracurricular activity, the latter those, pleasures of a heavy cruiser in peacetime duty. He then went to Yale, which afforded its own peculiar opportunities. While at Yale, for instance, Labaree shared in several abortive attempts to establish a student council, and later participated in the movement to bring the N.S.A. to New Haven (which seems ample preparation for coping with the present term at Harvard...
...Measure for Measure, apart from which House Party resembles A Comedy of Errors. To the antediluvian Ames mansion at Pruitt's Landing, an "unspoiled" Long Island town, repairs the following partial cast of characters, some Ameses and some not: a superannuated dandy who is chauffeured about in a Hotchkiss landaulet; a Manhattan model; a frustrated young architect who works for Vahan Rabadab Associates ("All Rabadab buildings looked like banks of file cabinets with the drawers open"); a proletarian scowler ("No thanks, I don't usually bathe until Saturday night"); a divorcee with an "I'm-a-dangerous...

As a result, much of the book has the charm, but sometimes also the limited private meaning, of reminiscences over the third martini between balding alumni. But. apart from being on the whole immensely amusing, the book carries a paradoxical and completely unpreachy moral: the longest way around is the shortest way home. Those...
