Ethel is no longer the prankster she was in days past, when she would string up a dummy parachutist in a tree by way of greeting General Maxwell Taylor, who parachuted into Normandy on Dday. But evenings at Hickory Hill are hardly occasions for quiet conversation. "After dinner, you never just sit around and talk, because she's not comfortable in that type of situation," says a friend. There is always an activity of some sort?charades, games of "who said that?" based on the day's news?or a movie in the playroom by the pool. A recent guest...
...used to describe what's happening in the experience (like: 'go with the flow," "synch," "kairos," and "total attention"). Here is Wolfe describing Kesey on one of the first acid trips in history: "The first thing he knew about it was a squirrel dropped an acorn from a tree outside, only it was tremendously loud and sounded like it was not outside but right in the room with him and not actually a sound, either, but a great suffusing presence, visual, almost tactile, a great impacting of . . . blue . . . all around him and suddenly he was in a realm of consciousness...

...accomplished soloists, they display considerable sub-limination of artistic ego when they have their bows together. In traditional quartets, the first violinist is the unofficial leader; the Guarneri has no real chief. Though rehearsals often turn into vociferous debates, they are never allowed to get out of hand. Says Tree, "the performance always comes first." Two-to-two splits are resolved pragmatically by trying out both ideas at successive concerts...
...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.
