Listen to Evan X. Hyde, 22, a summa cum laude graduate of Dartmouth who has become a Black Power leader in his native British Honduras-or "Afro Honduras," as he chooses to call it: "You don't dig living in houses fit for pigs, you don't dig having to work for $20 a week so the white people and the corrupt black rulers can get rich. How long are you going to take this crap? The white man is your enemy, and don't you forget it. Tourism is whorism. I say live black. Black...

...with Frank Sinatra. She has a big three-octave range and reaches high C with ease in Johnny One Note. Like Karen, Julie belongs chronologically to the Woodstock Nation, but her spirit lies in Tin Pan Alley. Their repertory is mostly golden oldies, and so is their following. "Adults dig me better than kids," says Julie, though she adds: "My parents are not ready for me." Her father, vice president of a bottling company, is not awed by her $80,000-plus income, she says, and her mother would be just as happy if "I married a nice pediatrician...

Just across the Athens-Piraeus electric railway, the dig looks more like the excavation for a large new office building than the repository of one of ancient Greece's most famous sites.

Still visible amid the rubble are the base outlines of twelve Doric columns that ancient chronicles say guarded the eastern base of the portico.

...more ridiculous to yell off the pig than it is to work at a job and pay taxes to a war you can't understand. Polities is happening because it's happening. And you know, someone will say to you in the streets, revolution is far out. I can dig it. I hypothetically answer. Even though it's crazy, and maybe even wrong.
