...called themselves "The 1959 Franco-American Students' Automobile Tour of Africa" ("What a mouthful," Donald wrote home. "The 'Franco-American' sounds like spaghetti, and the 'students' sounds academic, but it's the best we could come up with"). On July 4, they set forth in two small Citroëns loaded with camping gear...
...picture has been expertly written, directed and produced by an old Hollywood smoothie named Delmer (Destination Tokyo, Kings Go Forth) Daves, but unfortunately Daves's taste is not equal to his technique. Up to a point the story argues for a healthy relativity in morals. But the relativity of A Summer Place is anchored to no absolutes.

Hypocrisy shows forth in different attitudes toward this custom. Dean Peters describes the requirement--all freshmen must wear dinks--as a sort of harmless, inoffensive jest which is not strictly enforced. Yet freshmen will attest to the violence of the rule's administrators, and only brave or foolish men will defy the kangaroo court which orders them to display their dinks and buttons...
