...when they fail, their members often go on to join other tribes, now that there is a network of communes available to them. Benjamin Zablocki. a Berkeley sociologist who has visited more than 100 communes in the past six years, insists: "The children are incredibly fine. It's natural for children to be raised in extended families, where there are many adults." Yet in spite of the talk of extended families, the extension in the new communes does not reach to a third generation. Indeed, the "families" have a narrow age span, and it is possible that the children have...
...content with producing commercials and 70% of all the station identifications that racket through the middle ear of Middle America, P. & T. is now seeping into the semiconsciousness of the whole world. The BBC's pop network is overrun with Pepper & Tanner jingles ("It's what's happening . . . Radio One"). So is station Rediffusion Singapore.

The real reason for the pullback, say some intelligence sources, is that the Kremlin is worried about the viability of the new government of President Anwar Sadat and is taking steps to protect it-and also to protect Moscow's massive investment in Egypt...
Silly Football. With no Nguyen Nielsens around to survey such things, no one knows precisely how THVN is faring in a ratings war with AFVN, the U.S. Armed Forces TV network. But it seems to be far behind. Mission: Impossible is the U.S. show most popular with the Vietnamese; until AFVN discontinued it, Batman also was near the top. Wrestling and boxing matches are popular, too, but not pro football, which the Vietnamese regard as silly...
