...stage, a new acid-rock group called "The Butter" is playing a new acid-rock number. It is a most unbutterlike performance, with a wailing lead singer who rips at your eardrums and a bass you can hear through your elbows on the table. The blonde is dancing quietly in the backstil smoking, still staring...
After about eight months-enough time for radioactivity to decrease to safe levels-mining engineers will drill three holes from the surface to the top of the "chimney" of fractured rock. Through these holes, sulfuric acid will be poured into the chimney, where it will dissolve copper out of the rock. The solution, containing copper sulfate, will then drain into holes drilled at the bottom of the chimney and be pumped up through a shaft to a precipitation plant at the surface. There the solution will be processed to extract metallic copper, and the recovered sulfuric acid recycled for another...
Fearful that forces guarding the Pentagon would spray them with Mace, the hippies concocted a counterspray called lysergic acid crypto ethylene (LACE). Purportedly a purplish aphrodisiac brewed by the flipped-out pharmacist of hippiedom, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, LACE "makes you want to take off your clothes, kiss people and make love."

A search for new foods is also under way. Only last week a U.S. Interior Department team arrived in India to discuss construction of a fish-protein-concentrate factory, and Dow Chemical is joining with a Bombay company to produce peanut flour...
Milk & Oatmeal Cookies. Because of its end effects, genuine hippies have never taken to speed to any great extent and look with alarm, like the Avatar, at its growing use in their communities, mostly by teen-agers and would-be hippie converts like Linda Fitzpatrick. "Everybody says, 'Acid: good and good for you. Grass: good like milk and oatmeal cookies,'" notes one Los Angeles rock musician. "So kids begin to think in terms of drugs and they think, 'Meth! Groovy!' But they don't know that it can destroy them...
