...what was their initial capital investment, for instance?). But there is enough specific information on such arcana as composting and stonemasonry to qualify their book as an authentic long-term survival tool, and to explain its current promotion in journals like the Whole Earth Catalogue. The most dedicated food faddist, though, might be put off his feed by the manner in which they dismiss milk ("The secretion of the mammary glands of cows, goats and sheep") and eggs ("the reproductive media of birds"). The one thing Living the Good Life most lacks is what Walden has in such abundance...
...Kosher of the Counterculture" [Nov. 16]: I am not a food faddist or cultist-and I am revolted by orange dye in my oranges, wax on my cucumbers, preservatives in my "fresh" mushrooms. Give me an apple with some marks on it that show it was just as tempting to an insect as it will be delicious and life-giving to me. But that kind of apple is neither cheap nor easy to buy.

Arrested and charged with conspiring to damage Government property were Samuel Melville, 34, a health faddist and sometime plumbing...
Collie's spatial-absolutes represent a marriage of technology and art, but science is clearly the stronger partner. Yet Collie insists that he is no technological faddist catering to a novelty-hungry art public that is ready to pay $1,000 to $3,500 for his floating sculpture. In his obsession with simplicity and freedom of form, he argues that his shapes "derive from Brancusi. If he were alive today, he would have released his Bird in Space and freed the Fish to swim. He simply lacked the technology that we have today. His work implies flight." Collie promises...
