Technology heavily burdens the two-adult-or what anthropologists call the "nuclear"-family. Modern society demands what Yale Psychologist Kenneth Keniston calls "technological ego dictatorship," a talent for divided living that requires coolly rational behavior at work, reserving feeling for home. Wholeness is often elusive. "Home is where the heart is," but more than one-third of U.S. mothers work at least part time, and some fathers hardly see the kids all week.

Princeton "gut-hoppers," who try to take only easy courses, are also fond of what they call "Trucks and Buses," a course in transportation centering on one research project. Two students recently lugged a case of beer out to Route 1 every afternoon for a week; one man counted the trucks coming from Philadelphia, the other those heading for Philadelphia.
