...mouths agape, chanting, "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare..." The energy ripples through the congregation. A man violently rocks from his waist up, glazed eyes bobbing above a limber neck. A swaying woman, dressed in a sarong, catches a red carnation. She closes her eyes, smells the flower, grins and flings it to someone else. A woman devotee bounces with her baby's face pressed in her sarong. Another child hops at her feet, his hands thrust to the ceiling. A devotee jumps from alongside the altar with a burning brass tin of ghee-soaked cotton. He dodges...
Strobe lights detonate at one end of the big room; Photographer Seltzer is working with Nancy Dutiel, a wan, lovely blonde who is new to the Slims ads.

Phyllis worked in a flower shop when her two daughters were growing up, and Vernette, four years older than Cheryl, took care of her little sister. The Tiegs family went to Quaker meetings on Sundays. They were healthy and moderately affluent. The girls did well in school, and though Vernette was the more intellectual, Cheryl...
...days when buttoned-down teenagers of the '50s dropped their books at the jittering of rock'n'roll are gone. Also departed are the summery afternoons when the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane gave free concerts to a second generation of rock'n'rollers, the flower children of the '60s, who ate acid and dressed down and became disenchanted and noisy for reasons no one is yet sure...
