Ummm I believe that what Frances is getting at are precisely those things and, what you missed, the sexism! Later, when I get a chance, I'll dig out _Freedom Summer_ and share a few quotes about the sexism that went on--the ways in which the 'free love' ethos was used against women both to get them to give it up and keep it in its proper place.

Smoochey Smooch Paul, but I myself am feeling rather condescended to here, as a woman and as one of the Xers. In fact, all you condescending old coots keep it up <double maybe even triple! entendre most definitely intended> we're gonna get together--me, Frances, Alex, Alec, Eric, Liza and ALL the other Xers--and we're gonna secede from this divided union of marxish leftish bliss.
