...tucked away in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico, is loosely linked to the rest of the world only by narrow, crumbling ribbons of highways. It seemed a God-sent El Dorado for the nation's newest wave of migrants. Over the past two years, driven from the cities by hoodlums and a yearning for the pastoral life, some 1,000 hippies have settled around Taos-buying small plots of land, hand-fashioning adobe casas, and settling down to light farming.

Unfortunately Mr. Glassman's case for his conclusion (May 13) that, "The federal government will be driven out of the University. And that cannot be bad" is sketchy and his solution seems to throw out the baby with the bathwater. It will be argued here...
