...drawn all sorts of people: the rebellious, the lonely, the poets, the disaffected, and worse. Some two years ago, says Dr. Lewis Yablonsky, a close student of the phenomenon, criminals and psychotics began infiltrating the scene. They were readily accepted, as anyone can be who is willing to let his hair grow and don a few beads; they found, just as do runaway teenagers, that it is a good world in which they can disappear from law and society. "Hippiedom became a magnet for severely emotionally disturbed people," Yablonsky says...
Fortunately, American officers do not have a tradition of taking their grievances to the political barricades. Yet the belief that the U.S. military was betrayed or let down by civilian leaders, in or out of Government, is comparable to the idea, on the other side, that the U.S. was led into a hopeless war by the "militaryindustrial complex."

Still, the new opposition press is getting results. Says Crimson President James Fallows: "It's unhealthy...
...looks ready. With melancholy eyes and a guileless face only partially coarsened by a Sundance Kid mustache, he is reminiscent of the more or less traditional Hollywood matinee idol. The resemblance ends right there. He rejects the Hollywood scene, and his conversation is a pressagent's nightmare. "Let's face it," he confides with the sort of intensity that adds volumes to every sentence. "If you want to get anything done in Hollywood, you've got to fight. It's just one big battle out there, and I don't need that." If Redford...
