Dinner with Richard and Sarah was a delight. John cooked gourmet Chinese and I brought fortune cookies and Wendy produced a luscious strawberry pie from Reeves’ bakery. Animated evening of conversation and stories. Sarah, Richard and John were all friends during the Vietnam years, all prominent Washington activists. Sarah was a radical DJ with a radio station. John eventually became self-exiled in Europe after his political profile reached FBI proportions. We recount our lives from those days, pleased to find a group of survivors from those years who still recognize the counter culture birthmarks we all bear; which in these aimless years on the job market often resemble scars. Weren’t we really creating a new world? Were we not the brave architects of a new order? And, are we really now wearing our designer clothes to offices, the new executives, the new money makers– It is good to find each other after all these years– and to see the new clothes we are wearing. We have become citizens of Rome but we carry dormant vipers in our bosoms.
