This, say Jim Baumohl and Henry Miller, is a chain of ghettos stretching across the nation's college towns from Cambridge, Mass., via Ann Arbor, Mich., and Madison, Wis., to Santa Barbara and Berkeley, Calif. The youths who wander from one tolerant university town to the next are "street people," who bear a superficial resemblance to the hippies of the late '60s. Yet unlike the flower children (of whom only a few remain), the new group of itinerant youths have not rejected the Establishment out of ideological beliefs.

Stewardesses and stewards, who walk and talk like real people, wear ultra-violet Flash Gordon-type outfits and berets with the black and white Freelandia insignia of an open hand. What's more, they remain in their original clothes throughout the flight, thus eliminating those strange airborne fashion shows...
