...powder (the liquid-dunked sugar cubes of yesteryear are out), LSD produces an eight-to-twelve-hour trip highlighted by profound changes in thought, mood and activity. Colors become heightened, sounds take on preternatural shades of meaning or unmeaning; the trip passenger feels he can see into his very brain cells, hear and feel his blood and lymph coursing through their channels. It is this sense of intense perception that stays with most hippies and, in part, sustains their fondness for bright colors, flowers and bells. "Have you ever heard yourself move?" asks Hippie Poet Richard Brautigan...
Father Kavanaugh's major polemical weapon is the sweeping generalization. Ignoring the fact that great juridical decisions can rise to the level of philosophy, he boldly declares: "The legal mind is a restricted and impoverished mind which cannot move without a law to support each flicker of its brain." He describes the church's code of can on law, which is now being drastically revised, as "archaic" and "reeking of drawbridges and moats."

As for Sartre, he is convinced that man has much to learn from history, while Lévi-Strauss holds that history makes at best an undependable instructor. Moreover, Sartre disputes Lévi-Strauss's deterministic, science-oriented view of man. "Sartre exemplifies a kind of morose sulkiness...
...Belmont Hill, a prep school founded by Harvard professors mainly for their children, Kingman settled for Bs on his report cards. "He had a tremendous brain, but there was so much else he wanted to do," recalls his Latin teacher. He edited the school newspaper, played the First Lord of the Admiralty in H.M.S. Pinafore. A star at debate, he helped beat a loquacious Groton team consisting of Franklin Roosevelt Jr. and William and McGeorge Bundy, taking the affirmative side on "whether capitalism is more conducive to war than socialism...
