When Ed Entin decided to torch his draft card, everythingabout his life changed. He had his whole life mapped out. It was 1966 and Eddiehad just been accepted into Yale Law School — his ticket out of the Army andVietnam and into a life of secure prosperity. It only took one day, onedecision to change the course of his life. What follows is a sometimesharrowing, often hilarious, and always illuminating ten-year journey throughthe social, political, and spiritual turmoil of the era.
For anyone wondering how it was back then — or how to getthrough right now— Living on the Fringe provides a look at how one person whowaded into the turbulent waters of his time came out whole, dry, and ready toface the future. And with a new name to match the person he had become.
