...example: Hopper boasts that he can make "oh, six . . . eight . . . eighteen" girls in one night. The following scene shows the girls-burlesque queens, whores, coed groupies-entering Hopper's Taos. New Mexico ranch. kindly imported by Schiller and Carson. The reaction of one of Hopper's steady women is shock and jealousy-why are they here? why is the camera on them and not me? When Hopper joins the group, he is nonplussed. (Perhaps his dream has been greater than his reality.) He plays games with the girls. out of fear, amusement and affection; his narration tells us that...
...from a stand of blackjack oak trees that once shaded farmers on their way to market in St. Louis, 15 miles to the north. All of this changed in the '60s with the arrival of the subdividers and developers who cut many of the farms into lots, built ranch and split-level houses in the $30,000 to $35,000 price range.

Now there are nearly 11,000 residents in just over 3,000 houses-ranch-styles and split-levels with a good sprinkling of two-stories. The lawns are spacious, and there is often a paddock with two or three horses gamboling about.

Class Struggle. Richard Slater, an engineer and expert on low-cost housing for the Federal Government, doubts that the dome will ever become the favorite form of housing for the masses. "Lowincome families," he says, "usually aspire to the split-level ranch-style homes that higher-income families have. As long as the dome has the reputation of a low-cost home, no one will want to live...
