...addition, the bureau found that one of every five households now consists of just one person, up 54% since 1970. But it warned that the data "do not necessarily portend a sharp rise in lifelong singleness." Most of the increase is accounted for by widows and young people postponing marriage. Other studies show that living together is largely a way station en route from bachelorhood to matrimony...

All four stories are told in the first person by young men who loosely share some common characteristics. An ex-college wrestler is given brief command of his squad during his own basic training and learns that trying to be fair is a kind of condescension. A sophisticated Eastern writing teacher plays Pygmalion to a gifted but corn-fed coed...
