...report of the President's Advisory Commission on the Selective Service to Congress; five members of Marshall's Commission; former FDR braintruster Adolph Berle; and the presidents of Brown, Cornell, and the University of Iowa. About ten student leaders were present, including Craig, chairman of the Harvard Undergraduate Council; Strobe Talbott, chairman of the Yale Daily News; Abby Erdmann, Smith N.S.A. representative and a prime mover behind the December letter to the President; and Steven Cohen, president of the Amherst Student Council...

Just as in other psychedelic-lit joints, such as Andy Warhol's Gymnasium in Manhattan, the aim is to immerse everybody in sound and sight. When the spell takes hold, young mothers with sleeping infants in their arms waltz dreamily around the floor; other dancers drift into a private reverie, devising new ways to contort their bodies.
