...last three months." As one judge shivered in a windbreaker and another strode the shore line in brogans, the pup, Aesirsson, bounded out of the water and sprayed everyone within five feet with a single, massive shake of his double-layered coat. It was a far cry from Madison Square Garden and the fine grooming -human and canine-of the Westminster show ring. "But Newfs weren't put on this earth just to look good," says Madsen. "They are born to swim, and water rescue is in their genes. It's up to breeders to see that...

...members of the present generation decrees that these social signposts be regarded as fads. Such a viewpoint belittles the cumulative impact of these Sixties trademarks. They exist now only in our memories, yet, at that time, all had a particular social purpose; none were merely inventions of an aberrant Madison Avenue mind. In his novel Home Free, Dan Wakefield reduces the symbols of the flower child era to cliches and stereotypes, and in so doing, he joins the ranks of those who wrongly dismiss the outgrowths of that period as psychedelic nonsense...
