...little while later, the group broke up for lunch. The boy did not feel hungry, however; he still felt the energy pounding in his body. He felt uncertain about the night before, and wanted only to be outside, by himself He walked slowly up the road to Route One, from where he could look down on all of Esalen. He felt strong. But towering above him, towering above Route One, was a small, very steep mountain. "The mountain," the boy exclaimed to himself. And he knew that he had to climb it. He would see what lay on the other...
...third important event of Sunday night, however, was the boy's first breakdown. It was back in the room, with Paul. Neither of them had been tired, and they had sat up talking for a long time.

More public sentiment for reform may be generated upon commercial publication of the Nader report--leading perhaps to preliminary injunctive power for the Commission if not a change in personnel...
...clear that Johnson was having some difficulty unwinding. "He's not basically constituted to assume this new posture," observed Jake Jacobsen, a former aide. In a two-hour press conference at the ranch, Johnson was by turns shy and brave, moody and fitful, wistful and uncertain. He said he was convinced that he had done the right thing in renouncing reelection last March. Only Lady Bird seemed altogether certain that she would rather be in Blanco County, Texas, than Washington. Her main problem was that all the closets seemed to have shrunk...
