Last July, seventy-seven trainees arrived on the plastic campus of sunny California's University of Riverside to learn how to dig irrigation canals. Three months later the surviving forty-four shipped out to a picturesque bressaro camp in tiny town Hemet, also in the Fun State. At this point two were drafted...

As newly arrived members met, fully clothed, they were asked to discuss any anxieties or fantasies that they had about their imminent nudity. Many were apprehensive-surprisingly, more about seeing others nude than about being seen-but just talking it out helped. Though they had the choice of bathing nude or wearing...
