Foreword

MAX LERNER STATES IN HIS BOOK, AMERICA AS A CIVILIZATION, "SEXUAL REVOLT IN AMERICA has asserted three freedoms: the freedom to break the formal codes; the freedom to diverge from the majority sexual patterns into deviant behavior; the freedom to lead a fully expressive sexual life in the pursuit of happiness. It is the last of these three which has become most meaningful in recent years." And it was this freedom that the mountain people exploited diligently-at every swap party for fifteen years. Nothing was new any more ... except murder, maybe?
