...altogether eliminated. Yet, even at the same conjuncture it was possible for another scholar observing the same forces in the same societies to arrive at radically different conclusions. Ernest Mandel, for one, never ceased insisting that it is perfectly possible in the present general economic climate-that of "neo-capitalist-affluence" or the "mass consumption society"-for increased radicalism and revolutionary tendencies to develop as a result of a whole series of social, economic or even military crises. And he was writing precisely at the same time as Lipset was visualizing the end of politics and of class conflict...
...political content will win popular recognition, for it is with anti-war demonstrators that Mr. Musiker's tune finally finds its natural home. Mr. Musiker has already rejected offers from snobby, self-consciously cultured salons, from trashy, materialistic Manufacturers o'Hits in Tin Pan Alley and from a neo-Nazi, Klannish organization that values Mr. Musiker more as a body to beat than as a creative artist.

Yoga disciplines, for instance, have always included "natural" foods while proscribing meats, and some of the new vegetarians share the Hindu regard for all living creatures. A meatless diet is also considered more conducive to meditation and higher awareness. A few neo-yogis find that even vegetables are too mundane and go on to become fruitarian. "Fruit is probably the most spiritual food there is," says Craig Bennett, 23, a Southern California follower of the Indian guru, Rhada Swami...
