Here We Go Again
CHRISTOPHER DENNING had his first attack of wanderlust when he was sixteen. He left school-in a strong atmosphere of disapproval-and scooted off to France and Germany, where he had some odd adventures. Now, barely out of his teens, he tells in the first of three talks of his lively hazardous journey by car to India.
