He shuffles his $200 fiber glass skis and $90 foam-injected Rieker boots, pokes forward a few inches with his $35 aluminum poles, and shivers in his $95 quilted parka, while his $10 all-day lift ticket flutters in the chill breeze and his stomach rumbles from that rotten $2.50 lunchtime ratburger...

City-funded sleeping projects have been set up in abandoned factories and warehouses, offering foam-rubber mat beds, showers and rock music for 80? a night. Copenhagen is another In place. City fathers have opened new youth hostels and "youth cities" of cot-filled army tents where boys and girls, not always segregated by sex, can do more together than brush their teeth.
