The book's instant success transformed Kunen into one of the spokesmen for the rebels of his generation. Since then, Kunen, now 37, has served as a conscientious objector, worked as a public defender in the Washington court system, been married and divorced. Now a senior writer at PEOPLE magazine, he was asked by TIME to comment on what has happened to him and his protesting peers of the '60s who now seem to have quietly joined the Establishment...
