Sex, Death & Diane

A very well done account of young people grappling with serious national problems and current events---and becoming involved in identifying the problems and ways to deal with them. These are young collegians adjusting to life in new schools, to life in a changing nation. And the main character--to a serious disease. The characters are convincing and likable, at times even funny. I read the book with pleasure from the beginning to end. I'd recommend it both to adults and young people without reservation. It moves briskly, is not "preachy", but does supply the reader with examples of dedicated and zealous characters from whom much can be learned.
