They share a collective biography, and a geography that rolls over the Green Mountains and into Harvard Square. Their bodies are solid, their minds restless. They are the children, not only of Kennedy and Galbraith, but of William Sloane Coffin and Abbie Hoffman -of the activist '60s, when getting busted at a teach-in was a required course. Those were the great days, when seven of them piled into a friend's car heading south for an antiwar demonstration...
