RIP Mr. Wouk. That book is IMHO the Great American Novel - nuts to "Moby Dick."

A young actor born Maurice Micklewhite realized he needed a stage name. He looked at a movie marquee and chose the name "Michael Caine."

"The Caine Mutiny" is one of the greatest films ever made. RIP Mr. Wouk.

I hadn't heard about his passing last week. Yeah, "The Caine Mutiny" was a great book and a great movie. I didn't read anything else by Wouk. I remember reading "The Caine Mutiny" when I was 15 in my original Yankee Stadium seat that we got free at E.J. Korvettes.

Rest In Peace, Herman Wouk...
