Herman Wouk, whose taut shipboard drama “The Caine Mutiny” (ja, den har man läst några gånger - men det är länge sedan sist) lifted him to the top of the best-seller lists, where he remained for most of a career that extended past his 100th year thanks to page-turners like “Marjorie Morningstar,” “Youngblood Hawke” and the World War II epics “The Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance,” died early Friday at his home in Palm Springs, Calif. He was 103.
