...those in the 18-to-28 age group. Their volubility seems almost like an effort to disprove one thesis advanced in the article -that their generation is "silent." TIME last month carried the story of the closing of an exhibit of paintings by Jose Rodriguez in Bogota, Colombia, because local religious groups objected to the exhibition of his life-like nudes.

But while the plans are in the works, police are still busily tagging the cars of students...
