A ship on its way from Europe to the United States blows up and sinks. Hundreds lose their lives. One lifeboat manages to pull away. Aboard are 11 people. They are Isaac Wolfe, former Jewish ter- rorist against the British in Pales- tine and fighter for Israeli inde- pendence; Betsy French, young, attractive, clad only in a man's white dinner jacket; Byron Holt, well-off advertising executive in his late 20s; eleven-year-old An- drew Wallace; a retired Conserva- tive Jewish couple, Mr. and Mrs. Simon Sachs; seasick George Moore; steward Ronnie Williams; crew member Bernoldi; Mario Parker, male nurse; and Sieg- fried Trub, German-American busi- nessman.

Was it right to kill? Was it wrong? In such a case, is there a "right" or a "wrong?" What would you have done? "How the Fishes Live" is Lieb- er's first novel. He is also the author of the popular travel guide "Israel on $5 a Day." He worked on the writing of "How the Fishes Increased rates for all classes of mail except parcel post and inter- national mail will go into effect Sunday, Postmaster Edward L.
