[Dialogue] LENS and Triangles & LandRiverMountainSea

[David Walters]

I was assigned to a PSU between Summer '70 and the fall Academy. We were
given a stack of material that seemed to have originated in Room E. When
we finisheed LENS stood for Living Effectively in the New Society. That is
about all I remember. I lost my copy of the document we produced.
