...clean-shaven, productive member of society. In his gut, he practices the same philosophy of the more publicized hippies, but he is so unconventional and nonconformist that he doesn't need to wear bangles, beads and a beard to prove that, in spirit, he is a hippie. In time, dropout hippies may realize that they can do as much, or more, on the inside of society as on the outside.

A South Dakota law can bar needy outsiders from ever collecting welfare; in Massachusetts they can be deported to their native states. All such requirements sit uneasily with the spirit of a 1941 Supreme Court decision voiding California's "anti-Okie" law and guaranteeing indigents free access to any state.

Every weekend, all summer long, the 18-seat Caroline makes the Washington-Hyannis Port run with a full load of assorted Kennedys, Shrivers, their staff members and house guests. The crunch comes when it is time for the flight back to Washington. The size of the original entourage is often swelled by guests who made it up to the Kennedy compound on their own, and there is often...
