Kate quoted Richard von Busack's review of "Hippie Revolution" (in 1996) http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/07.18.96/hippie-9629.html
>The hippies' efforts may not have been lasting; > they were fuzzy thinkers who produced little art > that endured. Today, "Today" is a nice single > mom with two kids, a house and a swimming > pool in New Mexico.' Critics of all expression - in this case with the facts wrong, it seems - Louise has just written to me saying: > BTW, the house and pool wasn't mine. > They filmed at Rebecca's in Marin. I've > never had a pool, and always thought that > sounded so 'fashionable' which, I confess, > I am not. Kate wrote: > like paul's friend louise (who, contrary to how the author portrays her is > as paul wrote 'saving lives and stamping out disease as a hospital > administrator') i know many who who grew up through the 'hippie era' who > remained true to their ideals & have devoted their lives to making the world > a better place... Certainly true of Louise.
