...never had anything, least of all expectations, the beginning of life can be new underwear, decent meals and the hope of one day being able to get and hold a job. Many of the girls who came to Cleveland had been frightened by the prospect of their first plane ride (three others going to another center turned back rather than fly). Most feared that they were getting into a kind of reform school. Actually, they will get the regimentation of an old-fashioned girls' boarding school, with supervised general and vocational education, plus training in housekeeping and child rearing...
...Harrison's subordinates (Edmund Purdom), masking her passion with some sprightly table talk about the anchovy sauce served on British trains.

Then the bronc-busters' skill is challenged by a blaze-faced roan given to bucking, biting and occasional drunkenness...
...intelligent introduction, Seymour Krim says in effect that he admires Kerouac but thinks he has reached the end with Duluoz and action prose, and that he should try something else. Krim is right. But if the Duluoz wandering is over, it has been a wild and sometimes exhilarating ride, from Road to Desolation Angels...
