Goodfriend's experience with the educational system provides a foundation for his opinions. A professor of American Studies at the University of Hawaii, his last diary records a one-year sabbatical aboard the S.S.

That makes the land buyers a curious blend of investor-cum-idealist. R-Ranch's founder is Jeff Dennis, 55, a rancher and hunter who tells of bunking with fellow Marine Ted Williams when both men were flying F9 Panther jets over Korea.

Secrets manages to strike a balance between these two modes of music. All of their albums include a track about a revolution; in "Third World Revolution," the blend of drums, tenor saxophone and fast-paced lyrics account for the only track reminiscent of the South Africa to South Carolina album. "Better Days Ahead," a mellow reflection of Bridges, also serves to achieve the balance in Secrets...
