Soup du Jour. Before Kinging himself, the kid from Brooklyn jumped from dropout to drummer to boxer to dancer. By the time he settled on his name and his occupation, there was nowhere to go but up to the Catskills, where the jokes, like the soup du jour, are always borscht. Notwithstanding the ethnic limitations of comic performance in the borscht belt, King kept plugging, waited to be discovered...

Miller, 23, a graduate of Jesuit-run Le Moyne College in Syracuse, who claims that "the only thing I'm expert at is refusing to be drafted," and Brown University Dropout David Mitchell, also 23, who founded the Brooklyn-based End the Draft Committee and its monthly publication Downdraft, but maintains that he would fight to defend his country against attack. Both refuse to apply for classification as conscientious objectors-though neither has shown any reticence about offering his conscience...
