What disturbs the good-natured serenity of this trio now is not the spartan demands and hope of playing in the Super Bowl but the intrusion of self-realization. There is a special emphasis on an est-like movement called BEAT. Shake is converted to it, and his new-found saintliness threatens the stability of the maison à trois.
