...virtue herself. A single mother on welfare when she wrote the first Potter book, she has rapidly risen to becoming the author of three New York Times bestsellers. And she's accomplished this all through her own persistence and ingenuity. Rowling is the Horatio Alger of our Gilded Age, never mind that she's from Scotland...
Polies see such experiences as painful but transcendental, and not surprisingly, there's a fair amount of New Age flimflam associated with the movement. But many adherents like Loving More leader Ryam Nearing prefer to dwell on science. "People are biologically poly," she asserts, noting that polyamory occurs even in societies that punish it by death. Polyamorists love the work of Helen Fisher, a Rutgers University anthropologist and author of Anatomy of Love.

...shirt-wearing fans. Most clocked in at well over half baked and still smoking, not surprising for the followers of a band known for its recreational use of Scotchguard. There were also a surprising number of 30- and 40-somethings, most of who were singing along with the college-age masses. The enthusiastic audience filled the normally calm theater to cramped standing room, inspiring the band to attempt their P-Funk-parodic magnum opus. "Okay, this hasn't worked for the last six nights," Gene told the crowd, "But if we all concentrate really hard...
