Year: 1970 ISBN: B001230WYI The setting of the story is the magnificent ocean liner SS New York: our world in microcosm. Here is the establishment, complete with power figures: captain, mate, purser, ship's doctor. Here, too, is a silent majority: the well-heeled and well-fleshed middle-class passengers in the first and second-class staterooms. And here, teeming in overcrowded tourist-class cabins like ants in an anthill, are the young: sixteen hundred kids coming home from a summer's roving in Europe.
