age in Nebraska dropped to twenty. I missed, thereby, a hassle
and a lot of free beer besides.
Twenty-three arrived in Fort Carson, Colorado, during my
pre-discharge identity crisis, a crisis lasting up to, and about six
months past"my actual discharge in July, 1971. I had an awful
time with 23.
At 24 it occurred to me I, was a student at UNL, which
seemed appropriate after three years (1023 days or about 33
months) of enforced wandering. Twenty-five of course, was,
another thing altogether.
It was then I realized I'd eventually grow old and die.
That's frightening, in combination with becoming unworthy of
Abbie Hoffman's and Jerry Rubin's trust. Car insurance rates
went down, giving me one less thing to complain about.
Chronologically, at least, I could no longer identify with the
Youth Movement. And I found myself apologizing for, even
hiding, the point in life I could scarcely help being.
Twenty-five-Jesus, that's old.
After a hassle like that what tate of woe have I to tell
today, you ask. Actually, none. The traumas seem fewer and
farther apart as I age. After the harrowing experience of 25, 1

But after two tablespoons of Pepto-BismcJ and
some thought, the Sheik called on his fellow sheiks
and unveiled a fiendish plot. So it was that the Arabs
took all the money they had bilked from the infidels
and simply gave it back to them I
This sudden influx of capital, just as the
economists had predicted, created galloping inflation,
plummeting depression and creeping starvation. Of
course, the sheik was poor again, too.

had caused and belching contentedly, "I've never
