...Berkeley, a former Penn State statistics professor, Jack Sparks, 40, launched one of the more colorful new groups, the Christian World Liberation Front. When derisive radicals dubbed them "Jesus Freaks," the Berkeley group adopted the epithet as its own, and now shares it with the movement. The Front publishes perhaps the best of the new underground Christian newspapers, Right On. In psychedelic typography, the paper urges its readers to foreswear promiscuity, drugs and alcohol...
...merchants' greatest fear, the one that motivates their militancy against street people rather than simply against the political rioters, is that Cambridge is turning into a ghetto, becoming another Berkeley, a city too risky for high class businesses.

They have hired Arctic ecologists to help minimize the effects of their presence, even going so far as to develop hardy strains of grass to protect the tundra. Helicopters move whole drilling rigs to avoid ripping up the topsoil. Three companies have...
