That Grail Song, Sam, One More Time This is the story of an odyssey of friendship - and incidentally, love. The friends are George and Tim and they’re in a "helluva" situation all because of Sally. Sally with the white dress and the malapropisms and the father who hates Tom and everyone else and still hates F.D.R. Making off with fire trucks and blowing up toilets as schoolboys is nothing to what they set out to do now - steal Sally from a castle in Poughkeepsie, otherwise known as a girls’ school. "This is subtitled a ’zany’ novel, and you can say that again." - The New York Times, September, 21, 1969
