Follow the River. "The standard thing is to feel in the gut that middle-class values are all wrong," says a West Coast hippie. "Like the way America recognizes that Communism is all wrong." They feel "up tight" (tense and frightened) about many disparate things -from sex to the draft, college grades to thermonuclear war. Hallucinogenic drugs like marijuana and LSD, they believe, are the knives that cut those knots. Once unleashed, most hippies first become insatiable hedonists, smoking and eating whatever can turn them on in a hurry; making love, however and with whomever they can find (including "group...
...Wants. The hippie philosophy also borrows heavily from Henry David Thoreau,* particularly in the West Coast rural communes, where denizens try to live the Waldenesque good life on the bare essentials-a diet of turnips and brown rice, fish and bean curd -thus refuting the consumerism of "complicating wants" essential to the U.S. economy.

To keep the holiday private, there is a roving band of 200 policemen, 30 armed detectives and two tag-along FBI agents. Most Irish newspapers echoed the Irish Independent's warning against "keyhole-peeping and shoreline-prowling." All the same, grumbled the Cork Examiner...
