...Criticism that Allied Forces Do Not Fight Enough at Night. This was a valid criticism at one time, but it is not true today. During the first three months of this year, there were 629 ambushes-mostly at night-sprung on the enemy by friendly forces, as opposed to only 81-mostly during the day-initiated by the enemy...

But prose style is one of the minor differences between Updike and his contemporaries. The larger fact is that however valid his own objectives and achievements, he has ignored the mainstream of contemporary Western fiction. The French, in the roman nouveau, have reduced the novel to a random series of received sounds and images; the English are tearing apart seven centuries of established order...
