...worst aspects of his writing are becoming accentuated as he ages. His latest novel, Triumph, treats the Third World War with hysteria and platitudes; his improbable plot is no more than an unwieldy vehicle to parade Wylie's ideas on desegregation, prejudice, sex, miscegenation, brotherly love and a swarm of other fascinating topics.

Then the boarders get cracking again. The boys polish floors, mow lawns, repair buildings, haul garbage, plow the fields. Girls swarm into the boys' dormitory with mops and pails, cook dinner using produce from the school's 350-acre truck garden. After dinner: study hall, lights out by 10:30 at the latest.
