...which represents both in symbol and reality an end of dependence on family. The new graduate takes off for the big city, looking for a job and an apartment of his or her own. And he begins determinedly to swing. In the ultimate, this means buying the highest of hi-fis, the deepest of modern sofas, the heppest of pop artifacts, the most seductive of lounging pajamas or sports jackets.

Retailed for $11.95 along with training manuals, it is a tiny tuning fork, attached to a simple chain, that vibrates at 34,200 cycles per second-just above a dog's threshold of hearing. The sound creates a fleeting moment of distraction for the animal. When a dog owner spots his pet doing something wrong-such as chewing on the sofa-he simply tosses the Hi-Fido on the floor. The tuning fork vibrates, the dog is distracted...
