But undemeath it all, we really havenlt changed. Encounter groups, transcendental meditation, and religious movements help us find out where we are at psychologically, and we quietly try to continue the work begun in the 6O's.

We write stories for the Tribune or the Journal, and learn to be publically aware and responsible. We voted in the last election.

We determine that we will work the changes from within. Introduction . . . l3
