HUSTLE AMC, SATURDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T. This unapologetically slight con drama is a chrome-plated time machine back to the mid-'60s. In the spirit of Catch Me If You Can, it signals its retro intentions with midcentury-modern production design, a jazz sound track and the casting of Robert Vaughn (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) as an aging grifter ("You're never too old to cheat, my dear"). Adrian Lester (Primary Colors) is ice cool as Mickey, a Zen master of con who treats his work more as philosophy than fraud. It's all delightfully phony, but will win your...
HALLUCINOGENS Things are trickier when it comes to LSD and its hallucinogenic kin, but reports suggest that most '60s trips ended relatively benignly. The most rigorous studies of hallucinogens have been conducted not on boomers, who used the drugs intermittently and furtively, but on Native American populations for whom consumption of the hallucinogen peyote is part of their cultural and religious fabric.

There was also an increased tolerance for ambiguity and an improved ability to manage relationships...
...complex relationships of injustices and basic wrongs and needy children with the legalese and legislation needed to right them to the general public? Dr. King's vision was clear; the voice was clear. That clarity was a great loss. While we're all looking for the heroes of the '60s, a strong foundation has been laid. It spawned the next phase in taking our nation where it needs to get. Now the task is to honor them in our deeds. His words are still the framework. Where is the voice today? We're it. We've got to make...
