...some observers believe that they could easily be three times that. Those converted by the straight evangelicals generally wind up on established church rolls, but are likely to be in the hundreds of thousands; the evangelistic staffs alone account for more than 5,000 people. The Jesus People???surely many thousands?are the most difficult to count. They often cluster in communes or, as they prefer to call them, "Christian houses"; the Rev. Edward Plowman, historian of the movement, estimates that there are 600 across the U.S. There is no doubt about their growth: Evangelist David Hoyt moved from...
...while, Cavett played an active role in the selection of guests for his show, but he has now given that responsibility largely to his executive producer, John Gilroy. A staff of 29 people???many of whom seem to be merely decorative, but very decorative, young women?put the show together. Gilroy meets with his staff each morning to discuss the booking of guests. In his office there is a huge display of file cards listing the guests' names; the cards are shuffled constantly to produce the best mix ("A good dinner party," says one staffer). "Talent coordinators" are then assigned...

...never had any exposure to real life. "New York isn't like Martha's Vineyard." James had a little money from his parents, and he lived all alone in an uptown pad furnished with a mattress and a radio. "He got hung up on taking in weird people???runaway teen-agers and people like that." Taylor was also getting heavily into drugs, especially heroin. Zach Wiesner had quit the Flying Machine after three months. Partly from inertia and partly out of loyalty to Kootch, James hung on for a year and a half. Then he escaped?not to the structure...
...Bronfenbrenner's view, meeting people???especially people of different ages?is all-important to the preservation of the family. Parents now spend their time with other parents, he suggests, children with children, the young with the young and the old with the old. To end this segregation, which is particularly acute in suburban living, Bronfenbrenner and others recommend planning by architects for community clusters where children, their parents and the elderly can intermingle, each group bringing its experience, knowledge and support to the other. University of Michigan's John Platt visualizes clusters he calls "childcare communities" which resemble communes...
