Generation B

Self-Exiled and Still Satisfied



BEATNIK TURNED WORKAHOLIC Michael Wolfson at his job at Statistics Canada.


IN the spring of 1968, Michael Wolfson, a 20-year-old Vietnam draft resister, crossed the border to live in Canada. The following January, he was one of nine men indicted by a federal grand jury in Buffalo for failing to report for military duty.


He had applied for conscientious objector status but was rejected, based on an extensive investigation by F.B.I. agents in three cities: Buffalo, where Mr. Wolfson went to high school; Pittsburgh, where he?d attended Carnegie Mellon as a freshman; and Berkeley, Calif., where he?d spent his sophomore year before dropping out and working in a research lab.
