...they did, many for nearly a week. Forewarned by Woodstock, most had brought enough food to last out their stay. Youths slept in the sun on air mattresses, crawled at night into tents of orange, green, yellow and blue canvas. The more spiritual-minded jammed into an Indian meditation tent. Attitudes toward the music ban varied. "When you alienate so many people, the revolution just picks up steam," said Pat Coons, 23, a camper from Connecticut. Waving to friends on a ski T-bar, a California youth expressed the dominant mood: "This whole thing is playing it lazy...
Ancient Boldness. Moreover, say the street Christians, Christ can liberate the addict from other trips. They claim that genuine conversion can keep an addict off drugs as no other "cure" can, and the witness of their followers, like the testimony at faith-healing tent meetings, is filled with tales of needle-scarred young lives healed by Jesus.

The Soviet military men, as well as the civilians, generally try to maintain an extremely low silhouette. Missile technicians live in self-contained tent communities. "An SA3 site," says a Western diplomat, "comes with cooks, bottle washers, the lot." Occasionally an Egyptian might glimpse a busload of Russians visiting the pyramids, or see a group of beefy, fair-skinned workers at Agomy beach west of Alexandria.
