It was the first of a projected five volumes in which he planned to trace the rise and fall and rise again of the Swann family, starting with the founding of its transport business at the height of the 19th century Industrial Revolution and running down through the investiture of Prince Charles in 1969. The second, almost equally successful installment was last year's Theirs Was the Kingdom. Next fall will see the publication of Volume III, Give Us This Day, which Delderfield finished just before he died...

...deep-sea changes of American life. Whether McGovern's program would affect the U.S. as deeply as the New Deal did is an open question. The issues of 1972 have not yet been clearly drawn.
