Synopsis



A callow farm boy enrolls at the University of California (Berkeley), a microcosm of the Golden State's society, at the dawn of rock and roll, amid Cold War hysteria, advent of Civil Rights, changing gender roles, and the influx of America's middle-class Baby Boomers into a university traditionally reserved for the wealthy.

Chapter 31 MEN OF TROY The slaughter would soon begin, the chieftain thought. His name was Tommy, claiming his proud lineage from the ancient Phrygian city of Troy, home of the Trojan warrior. Wearing a golden helmet topped with crimson plumage, a gold breastplate, and a white toga, the muscular, bearded warrior sat poised on his magnificent white stallion, Traveler, waiting for his battle-tested army to humble yet another hapless enemy. Today, the foe would be the weak, fuzzy headed clan known as the Bear people. A crowd of sixty thousand gathered to watch the spectacle in the large, oval stadium, located in a deep canyon of the eastern foothills, once filled with wild strawberries. Tommy anticipated the celebration of another Trojan triumph by galloping around the perimeter of the alien coliseum, brandishing his sword and shield at the roaring crowd. An army of foot soldiers, dressed in blood colored tunics and golden helmets, trumpets blaring their victory song, "Tribute," signaled the arrival of the Men of Troy. On every side, winsome females twirled batons and waved golden standards. Twenty-thousand Trojan loyalists dressed in red and gold had journeyed from the Land of Eternal Sunshine to witness the carnage. As the Trojan phalanxes practiced maneuvers on the field of battle, the red and gold partisans thrust two fingers skyward in the sign of a V in rhythm to the music of their favorite song, "Tribute." "Incredible," said Butch. "Those costumes are leftovers from an old Cecil B. De Mille movie!"
