...volunteers grew peas, beans, buckwheat and flax, and raised chickens, goats, pigs and cattle. They kept bees in wicker hives for their honey, and traded pottery and baby goats to the film crew for rations of salt and butter. Food storage was a constant problem. At times, the group had to eat maggoty meat and cope with invasions of rats...
Lindsay recalls the pressure of confinement and the constant bickering during the experiment. "We had nothing else to take up our thinking time," she says. Still, she misses the animals and the plants, and the continuing story about trees that she told the children at nighttime around the fire. "It developed into a saga, and now that's gone."

For Heubner, other truckers and the working coal miners, firearms had become, in effect, their union cards...

Television has made a big difference; a top model will get $1,000 a day for shooting a commercial, and then twice that for each 13-week cycle the commercial runs, so that in a 21-month period she will make $15,000 for one day's work. There are other changes too. Highly paid "image girls" like Tiegs, whose faces become associated with several specific products, have come into fashion...
