...hippie movement is comparable to a temper tantrum. Peace, love and honesty as goals are not original with the hippies. The hippie conception of Utopia is sentimentalized love, license in place of honesty, distortion of the arts and of ethics, replacement of the peace pipe by pot. You state that gentle treatment is accorded hippies by "people in authority." The reason for this just could be the tendency to take these people's exhibitionism as a serious movement, or to fear to be considered "straight." Why not be proud to be?

Salmon, described as "a small man, unmistakably Scotch, a man of very quick temper," soon had all the commissions he could handle. The Boston Daily Advertiser praised him because "his views are always correct, seeming like the present reality of the thing represented."

Laver's own rugged initiation into the pro ranks makes the performance of two 1967 rookies seem all the more remarkable. As an amateur, California's Dennis ("The Menace") Ralston, 24, was noted mainly for his flaming temper and his inexplicably bad play in crucial matches. More mature and confident now, Ralston, according to Rosewall, "has the potential to be one of the top players on the tour"-and so far he already is: with $27,230, he ranks No. 2 in money winnings, and he has beaten Laver six times in 16 matches. The other hot rookie...
