...Please accept my gentle, loving indication to you that your quasi-learned etymology of the word "hippie" completely misses the mark. When the words "hip" and "hipster" were real cool, there was also the word "hippie"; it referred to an unhip person trying to be hip but not really making it.

I do take part in love-ins and demonstrations, though. I am happy, and I wish the world could...
When Graham asked those who wished to make a "decision for Christ" to raise their hands, 500 timid hands rose. Billy, who hopes eventually to mount crusades in Poland and Czechoslovakia, was unperturbed. Said he: "Wherever the Gospel is preached, whether to one person, one thousand, or one million, there is success...
