Only now are we beginning to realize that hip college students and intellectuals are not the only drop-outs and trip-takers. Only now do we begin to realize fully the alternatives that John Lennon and Mick Jagger, peaceful Woodstock and murderous Altamont, Christ and Satan represent in terms of the counter culture.
