...were described as motorcycling hoods. Not many of them have motorcycles, and their appearance is not hoodish. I wonder why adults complain so constantly about teenage drinking, sex, etc., when they are the ones who introduced it all to us. These things have been given to us on a silver platter and have been just about shoved down our throats. I'm not saying we are right in accepting them, but I am saying it's hard not to.

Into the Valley and Hiroshima are classics of reportage. All Hersey's best novels (A Bell for Adano, The Wall, A Single Pebble) are lightly fictionalized feature stories lifted from current history. His worst novels (The Marmot Drive, The Child Buyer) are nonjournalistic creations of an uncreative imagination. But even in the bad novels Author Hersey has always...
