...needs and alien peoples. Every other empire in history has either crumbled from within, exploded or been razed by invaders. By temperament and experience, Britain should be uniquely capable of making the successful passage from Commonwealth to Common Market-and in so doing, bring about that mingling of the Anglo-Saxon and the Latin spirit that Historian André Siegfried saw as the genius of Europe. As Edward Heath said to the House of Commons last month, "What we are dealing with is not tariffs or trade. We are dealing with fundamental human values. They affect the future of millions...

When the reader first sees him, he is a graduate student at the University of Iowa (his most irksome course is, naturally, Anglo-Saxon-a sly touch of the kind Roth is best at). There Gabe meets Paul and Libby Herz, a morose young couple living in a water-stained barracks apartment furnished chiefly with smudged paper-ungraded exams, piled paperbacks, Utrillo reproduction tacked to the wall. Their poverty is merely the standard lower academic kind...
