Coolidge was born a Boston Brahmin (his father Julian Lowell Coolidge was a mathematics professor here) and looks it. Still handsomely distinguished at 54, he looks and talks like the epitome of a well-bred gentleman.

They are New York City-bred college graduates who see their philosophy as basically opposed to that of the hippies. "Why is it I feel compelled to write about this pain I see?" says Simon, who is responsible for all the lyrics and most of the music. "I could split and be free and do whatever I want. I said to myself, well, why don't I? Because I'm here, that...
