...result of the investigation has been to speed up the long-planned centralization of the Army's criminal investigation division. The Army announced last week that investigations will henceforth be monitored at central Army headquarters in order to prevent suppression of probes by local commanders. Said one general: "The petty graft will continue to go on, but maybe we can stop this big stuff."

Its core, however, is molten with sympathy for the struggles of the major characters. The result is Urban Gothic, a type of naturalism saved from the simple cataloguing of disasters by the author's ability to transform the mysteries of experience into vital characterizations...
