...provide the tale of injustice every movement needs. The case could well be the first of its kind; it's surely the first to debate explicitly the worthiness of polies as parents. The roots of the movement, however, reach back to the communes of the mid-1800s and their flower-children descendants a century later. The poly family is usually smaller than a commune and more committed than a swingers' group--though polyamorists insist on the prerogative of each family to set its own rules about fidelity, as long as everyone is honest. Polies tend to be an exceedingly earnest...
TRAINING ROSES Many parents love to garden. Most kids enjoy model trains. And now these two pursuits are merging in a hot family hobby imported from Britain: garden railroading. Aficionados lay tracks and carve tunnels through their flower beds and hedges. One measure of the trend: circulation of Garden Railways magazine has doubled to 36,000 in the past three years.

...many ways, the dinner is a model for the show itself. The show is heavily infused with the (slightly clichd) flower-power flavor of the '60s and '70s (the era in which it was written): it's brash, it's carefree--make love, not theater.

If it were not for sex, there would be no blossoms and no birdsong. A flower-filled meadow resounding with the dawn chorus of songbirds is actually a scene of frenzied sexual competition. Geoffrey Miller, an evolutionary psychologist at University College London, has pointed out that everything extravagant about human life, from poetry to fast cars, is rooted in sexual one-upmanship...
...Once the reader resigns himself to Kugel's rather perfunctory treatment of literary topics, he can then begin to enjoy Kugel's luxurious strolls through the Biblical forest. As the author points out a flower here, a bird there, all the while quoting liberally from diverse sections of Scripture, the fascinating nuances of Biblical thought are enlivened and made relevant to the modern reader. Sometimes Kugel dips into our own popular culture to clarify an idea, such as his citation of The Wizard of Oz as an example of theological disillusionment for which there is no Hebraic equivalent.
