These days, California's black prisoners are rebelling at places like Soledad, a seeming garden spot in the Salinas Valley that looks like a university campus. Soledad's 960 acres throb with activity: tennis, basketball, weight lifting, a dairy, a hog farm. Inmates earn up to $24 a month turning out toilet paper and handsome furniture for the judges and prosecutors who got them the jobs. But for 180 rebels confined in Soledad's "X" and "O" wings, there is no play or work. Because they scorn prison rules, they are locked up tighter than lions...

When Yale students played host to Black Panther supporters last spring, for example, they fed their thousands of visitors not hot dogs and Coke, but a special recipe of oats, dates, sunflower seeds, peanuts, prunes, raisins and cornflakes. Indeed, at Woodstock itself the free kitchens of the Hog Commune ladled out rice, carrots and raisins for all comers...

There are no big production numbers, no lines of chorus girls, no star-spangled introductions, just Flip doing comedy sketches and bantering with such guests as Marcel Marceau or Lily Tomlin.

He and Henry have also made a point of spacing Flip's pet routines-the sassy Geraldine and the high-gaited gospel preacher-to ensure that they don't wear out their welcome...
...hippie neighborhood as "Freaks v. Pigs," was the idea of Patrolman Jim ("Beer Can") Kilty. Largely because of the cops' good humor, the game was a huge success. The law showed up wearing white T shirts with PIG stenciled on the back and a drawing of a hog on the front. From their pickup truck they pulled a squealing porcine mascot. One of the officers told the kids that the pig had a "long name, but we call him Herman for short." Houston's police chief is named Herman Short, and the patrolman's sly grin...
Japanese mythology once held that earthquakes were caused by movements of a great spider that carried the earth on its back. Mongolians blamed earth tremors on the unsteady support of a giant hog. Early seismologists assumed that the chronic buckling and lunging of the earth's surface was the result of the globe's slow cooling and contraction. Now new instruments and theories are changing what was once a guessing game into precise science. Some seismologists are even saying that accurate prediction of earthquakes is only three to five years away, and that control of quakes...
