...mixes before heading to class. Others, like Dave Sivak '00, carry their Nalgenes to the dining hall to fill with various fruit juices. As Sivak observes, "People usually ask for a sip--people I don't even know. I usually share with them--it's sort of a communal thing. They share their snacks too, so it's kind of like a fun party in class." Sivak says he would never spend money on pre-bottled water now, noting that "other people don't realize that you can enjoy your drink of choice all day with a little planning...

These people, particularly the men, are fascinating mixtures of virtues and vices: proud, independent, argumentative, close-minded. The twins, Deacon and Steward Morgan, grandsons of one of Haven's founding fathers, are angry at the way the town's young people have begun to act up, loitering around the communal oven with radios blaring--it is the '60s, remember--and questioning the authority of the elders. Something is polluting Ruby, the Morgans and others like them believe, threatening the one place in the world where they have ever felt safe...
