Paul and Rochelle parade in the nude to show their children the natural beauty of the body, or drag them to a concert where reactionary demonstrators break Paul`s arm. When his parents die, Daniel assumes responsibility for his sister all too readily, as if he has been a parent-in-training all his life, Little Susan can think of her real parents only as gods, and all American institutions as similar to the jails...
