DL Chastain and Frenesi Gates, the paired heroines of Vineland, meet in the midst of a street battle. “The turbulence of the times was bringing all kinds of people into towns like Berkeley,” we are told, “lured, like DL, by promises of action” (115). Action is precisely what DL finds, along with the person of Frenesi,

who’d been out with her camera and a bagful of bootlegged ECO stock since dawn, finally ending up on Telegraph Avenue filming a skirmish line of paramilitary coming up the street in riot gear, carrying small and she hoped only rubber-bullet-firing rifles. Last time she looked she’d been at the front edge of a crowd who were slowly retreating from the campus, trashing what they could as they went. When the film roll ended and she came up out of the safety of her viewfinder, Frenesi was alone, halfway between the people and the police.
