Seeking spiritual solace and enlightenment with a shaved head and a backpack did not distract Jobs from stubbornly haggling over prices in the marketplace and dressing down a Hindu woman for apparently watering their milk. An erratic Siddhartha at best, Jobs came home in the fall of 1974 with more questions than answers. He tried primal therapy, went in search of his real parents and on a friend's farm bumped his head on one of the last vestiges of '60s idealism: communal living. "Once I spent...
Miroslaw Macierzynski, 30, is a farmer in a village 45 miles south of Warsaw. On his twelve-acre farm he grows potatoes, wheat and fodder for his three milk cows and two plow horses.

In 1966 Cypriot Garo Yepremian's brother wrote to tell him about the land of milk and honey, and the soccer-style pioneer, Hungarian Pete Gogolak. Garo, a humble tiemaker, left home immediately to be a famous tie breaker. "The next thing I knew, I was a Detroit Lion," recalls Yepremian, who would serve four N.F.L. teams.
