I don’t know if it was that experience, or just general observation of life at the school, but I did have the impression that cp was becoming less prevalent, and that everyone felt it was somehow out of kilter with the times. Later, in the UK in the ’70s, when I found out that it was still going strong, I just thought that I had been misled. But speaking to others who seem to have been under the same misapprehension, I began to think that maybe we weren’t wrong. Maybe it was on the way out. But as in many other fields of life, something seemed to have gone into reverse. People talked about “the end of the hippie dream”, and there is something in that.
