Gloria, who changes her name to Witch Gliz while on the ritual lam from Mom's suburban Detroit subdivision, learns by doing and then recording her doings in a breezy diary. Sex, dope, kindness, generosity and communal living are good things because they make her feel good. Fortunately, imminent incest gives off bad vibrations before the big clutch...
...developed by two Dallas firms, Ussery Industries (guilty of propounding the idea) and Test Equipment Corp. (the accomplice responsible for the technical breakthroughs).
