Swamp Thing, the plantlike hero of a DC Comics series for adults, is taking an involuntary vacation.

The invited guests: young skinhead toughs whom Butler wants to recruit to his bigoted cause. A 21-year-old Californian identified himself as "Whiteman." At a press conference he defined the skinhead philosophy as "retaliation for all the years of being beaten down by other races." He went on to predict that "a new generation has to come. The skins are the next wave...
