Communes. Does a dingy group-house, occupied by hippies, sharing
vegetarian meals and marijuana cigarettes come to mind?  Maybe, but
"communes," or rather "intentional communities," have existed for
centuries. They have taken many forms and have been based on a wide range
of organizing principles.  Join Ray Suarez and guests to take a peek at
today's communes, and a look back at the history of communal living ... on
the next Talk of the Nation, from NPR News.
