...following suit. Hippies have long favored the style, and members of a Houston contingent not only wear them but do a thriving business making and selling their brown suede "stash bags" for from $3 to $5. Industrial Designer Darrell Howe likes the fashion so much he is designing a shoulder bag to be used by his Los Angeles staff, but he admits that he left his own at home on a trip last week to Dallas. "There are certain areas where you can move with a shoulder bag," says Howe, "and other areas where you would be eaten alive...
Black racism is strong, but so are provocations by white soldiers. Soon after Martin Luther King was killed, crosses were burned at Danang and Cam Ranh Bay. Confederate flags still fly from barracks and trucks, and are even worn as shoulder patches on the uniforms of helicopter pilots stationed at Phu Loi. Black soldiers at Con Thien grimace when whites call a Negro sergeant "brown boy" and a mongrel puppy "soul man." Base club operators who accept country and western but not soul music from their entertainers have paid a toll. Clubs were wrecked in Chu Lai, Qui Nhon...
Johnson has clearly put out the word that he is now very much a private citizen. Those few friends who will talk about what he is up to do so with the hasty over-the-shoulder air of a heister peddling a hot watch in front of a police station.

Even during construction at Aswan where 3,000 Soviet engineers lived and worked shoulder to shoulder with Egyptians, few friendships developed. In Cairo today, thousands of Russians live clannishly in their own apartment blocks, drink at their own clubs and shop at their own commissaries-from which some of the Soviets purchase extra vodka and sell it to Egyptian merchants to pad their sparse salaries. The Egyptians...
...fellow (who spent one year, one month and 26 days growing shoulder-length locks) tucked his flowing tresses under one of Woodford's wigs and snagged a job working for a gas-station owner who didn't want "longhairs hanging around." Another customer was in traffic court and, figuring that "I'd rather be prosecuted for my transgression against the Virginia traffic code than be persecuted for being a freak," he invested in one of Woodford's wigs. He didn't beat the rap, but the arresting officer said: "Well, one good thing came...
