...Welcome to the Club Fed." That is the line rock musicians lay on each other these days when they arrive at the Plant Studios, a rock-'n'-roll recording facility in Sausalito, Calif. The reason for their nervous joke is that the Plant is owned by the U.S. Government. Federal marshals seized the studio in September after its owner was accused of buying the establishment with money from drug manufacturing.

Today another young, idealistic generation is being fed into a vague, brutal war machine by an arrogant, self-righteous U.S. Administration. Forty years ago, the West Point classes of the '60s were sent to Southeast Asia to fight an equally vague, brutal war, ostensibly to promote freedom in that region.
