Story Summary
One by one a group of unacquainted people come together to form a line for some unnamed, upcoming event. Gradually the struggle for first place begins, as they lie, cheat, wrestle and push to gain the lead spot. Written in 1968, this timeless classic is as relevant as ever in satirizing the American win-at-all-costs attitude.
