...There you will find no teachers, only agents; no exams, only screen tests; no graduation, only the picking up of options. The boys are feral carnivores out of The Blackboard Jungle; the girls are pert Circes out of a sophomore's wet dream. The nice guys surf, smoke dope and screw around; the bad ones torch autos, walk with a surly Gestapo swagger and carve their initials in the nearest human flesh. There is never a dull moment, never a suspension of disbelief, never a security guard around when the rowdies are methodically tearing the place down. Everybody...
...almost unbelievable but reasonably documented $1.5 billion at retail, led the list. Hawaii was second; its $750 million crop rivaled the sugar-cane and pineapple harvest in value. In Oklahoma, the $350 million harvest ranked just behind wheat. In Kentucky and Tennessee, each with a $200 million yield, dope growing has replaced moonshine as the favorite illicit enterprise.

They stayed home from 1967-69, recording ever more varied and inventive albums--Between the Buttons, Beggar's Banquet. Let it Bleed, but remained largely invisible to the outside...
...elitism and inattention to the present. Tour groups have changed the nature and freedom and spontaneity of travel. But the backpacking young travel with as much energy and expertise as Waugh did, and with much less money. They prowl the world a little outside the law, at great risk-dope smugglers sometimes, or else the dreamy, suburbanite Leave-It-to-Beaver youth between ashrams, on the road to Katmandu. The trouble is that these wanderers rarely can write very well, or bother...
