But by 1960, many of the members had served their terms and were plotting more mischief. One group specialized in making bombs. Another in power-station sabotage. Another in arms smuggling.

The doings brought crowds running from all along the beach, but Kaprow was unhappy: "I was looking for more surprises, and everything came out very orderly." It almost didn't. Two of the parachutists missed the beach...
