| There are a few 1968 hippies left.It’s true that most of them have become law students,insurance salesmen.movie stars,senators in state legislatures,church bu.reaucrats,and prayer—breakfast speakers,but scattered among the Newman centers and student unions of American universities is evidence of the survival of the species.As with the black squirrel and the bald eagle of tllis section of the Mississippi RiVer valley.there is usually something both refreshing and sad about meet—ing up with them. I did,recently,meet with a whole colony of hold—over hippies in a Newman center near here.There wastalk about“action,’’“dialogue,”and yes,“reapprais—als’’concerning nearly every political issue from the slaughter ofbaby seals to the construction ofthe neutron bomb,but something in the atmosphere of the discus—sion precluded the old enthusiasms and energies.f“En.ergy,”by the way,seemed in the late seventies to havereplaced‘‘commitment’’as the authority upon whichjust about any action,statement or point of view couldbe based. |
