...letter to President Nixon, his plea for more understanding of the young was based not on impulse but on his long experience with his six sons, aged eight to 28. Jack Hickel, 19, a biology student at the University of San Francisco, defines his relationship with his parents as "super-good." Hickel never indulged in what Jack calls "fairy tale" moralizing. When Jack sampled the "weekend hippie" scene in Haight-Ashbury several years ago, Hickel was troubled but not surprised to learn that the sampling included marijuana. He merely asked his son what it felt like, then suggested that...

In the September issue, which went to press last week, the home sewing section tells where to get a pattern for a masculine codpiece to make trousers à la Bruegel...

Violence has been caused in each case by a group of perhaps 20, who have unilaterally broken off political discussion of tactics and independent of any group decision begun destruction of property.

There is nothing revolutionary about the acts of breaking windows or building barricades in themselves. They become revolutionary acts only when they embody or speak of revolutionary...
