Saturday evening. The students are straggling through the conference center to their dorms. One of the few with longish hair, Indian-born Sanjiv Kripalani of Torrance, Calif., sums up what is on the minds of many: "There is immense pressure on because of the $10.000 award. Everybody is feeling, 'I want it, I want it, I want it.' People are saying to themselves. 'Have I said too much or not enough? Have I lost my chance?' It's not worth it, selling your soul...
Zbigniew Brzezinski and wife enjoyed the Washington premiere of Hair so much that they decided to take in the post-premiere party at the elan, a downtown D.C. disco. Doffing coat and tie, munching from a health spread of brown rice, raw vegetables and yogurt soup, President Carter's national security adviser danced almost every feverish dance. His evening was interrupted only once for a White House call (subject undisclosed).

Their originality relied on performance, not form; rock and roll has always been wrapped up in personality and attitude, and the contumacious stance and demonic vigor the Sex Pistols brought to rock...
...Vicious had the extraordinary good fortune of the very, very few who are born into an artistic movement that mirrors their inner sensibility, whose untrammeled self-expression jibes exactly, as if predestined, with the zeitgeist. He was the quintessential punk, with his chalk-white, emaciated body, his spiked hair and suicide-scars and drunken, fun-loving leer. When he danced the pogo, it became the rage; when he pieced together his clothes with safety pins, that device became the emblem of an entire subculture. He realized that old age would be a breach of decorum--that, like Keith Moon...
