...prevailing sexual mores, a predilection for pot and peyote, wanderlust, a penchant for Oriental mysticism on the order of Zen and the Veda. Yet the contrasts are even more striking. San Francisco's North Beach was a study in black and white; the Haight-Ashbury is a crazy quilt of living color. Black was a basic color in the abstract-expressionist painting of the beats; hippiedom's psychedelic poster art is blindingly vivid. The progressive jazz of the beats was coolly cerebral; the acid rock of the hippies is as visceral as a torn intestine...
...journey, is what counts. German doctors and orthopedists recommend wandern as good for the heart, lungs, legs and circulation. German sociologists inquire anxiously on questionnaires, "Do you walk with your wife?" -presumably on the theory that togetherness begins along the trail. German scholars account for the national wanderlust with learned references to Goethe and the 19th century romantics, who originally glorified nature and the nomadic as a protest against the industrial revolution.

The most blatant copy will be Run for Your Life (NBC), in which Ben Gazzara is told he has 18 months to live (roughly three TV seasons).

...since the days of the itinerant frontier preacher have so many Protestant ministers been afflicted with wanderlust, and for many churches the problem of replacing a departed pastor is infinitely more pressing than what to do about integration or support for the missions. In Houston, 40 of the city's 187 Baptist churches have changed pastors during the past year, and about 10% of the 1,500 Congregational churches in New England are now without a fulltime minister. In Winston-Salem, N.C., the First Presbyterian Church spent 13 months looking for the right man; one committeeman traveled...
