...prankster who masterminded the parody presidential campaign of his Smothers show colleague, Pat Paulsen. He is now redecorating the guest quarters of his Los Angeles home (he is divorced) into a stereotypical motel room-"just so people will feel at home." He has already laid in a selection of travel folders, a Gideon Bible and some tackily painted landscapes...
...marriage-like pitfalls of quartet life, the players follow many of Sasha Schneider's helpful guidelines. They rarely socialize together during off hours; on tour, they try to avoid the same train or plane, and often stay in different hotels. They also divvy up business responsibilities: Steinhardt handles travel, Dalley is in charge of money, Soyer manages overseas tours, and Tree is the program chairman.

In the municipio of Zinacantan, for example, most of the 7600 Indians live in the surrounding hamlets, called parajes, moving in to the center only when they hold one of the many religious or political posts, or have protracted business in the market. Travel between the center and the villages is frequent and routine. Each paraje has its own political structure, and the political system in the municipio draws on all the parajes. The Zinacantecos have an agricultural economy, but their cornfields are in Tierra Caliente ("hot country") at a lower altitude. Wealth...
