...arrive to drive the enemy away. This book is his account of his 16-year struggle in the jungle and his torment upon return. It is disjointed in places, and it suffers somewhat from a translator bent on changing Itō's rural Honshu argot into phony British slang. But nothing can destroy its authenticity as one of the toughest survival stories that any man has lived to tell...
Despite such dire predictions, perhaps the most striking thing about the hippie phenomenon is the way it has touched the imagination of the "straight" society that gave it birth. Hippie slang has already entered common usage and spiced American humor. Department stores and boutiques have blossomed out in "psychedelic" colors and designs that resemble animated art nouveau.

...American Mothers' Committee, as well as support or similar action from 125 other of the U.S.'s 4,200 AM radio stations, including the Susquehanna broadcasting group, and several stations owned by the American Broadcasting Co. But McLendon won't stop there. Aware that "teenage slang changes by the week," and that the hippies love to slip innuendoes past the censors, McLendon is appointing an "informal jury" of consultants. It will have to include, he thinks, an ex-prostitute and an ex-addict to catch all the nuances...
