SURGEONS dream of the day when they will be able to replace any worn-out or damaged human organ with a spare part, either artificially made or taken from another person. That medical Utopia seems to be coming closer.

On an alcoholic whim, Dave returns in 1947 to Parkman. Ill., the hick home town he had deserted 19 years earlier in flight from a paternity charge lodged against him by a hay-prone hoyden. Parkman is Peyton Place transplanted, with more skeletons than...
