...recognize her now, with her navel ring, Balinese warrior tattoos and baggy Thai fisherman's pants. Tamara, this retiring, freckled brunette with a narrow body and tiny waist, this daddy's girl from La Jolla, Calif., roves the beach barebreasted in daylight and raves the night away at Full Moon parties or up at the Backyard trance club. She will tell you, seriously, that what is going on here is a whole new civilization. One in which those laws that Dave is studying just don't apply...

Just because he cried in Philadelphia, slurred his speech in Forrest Gump and lowered his volume in Saving Private Ryan doesn't mean he's Brando. Come...
...Friday morning at the Dudley Co-op in the winter of 2000, but it might as well be summer of '69. Hetty B. Eisenberg '00 sleeps in a common room, curtained by moon-and star beads as a silver wall hanging swirls psychedelically above her. In the room next to her, morning sun streams onto a collection of African drums next to a bathtub full of tropical plants and finger-painted with "Happiness...
