...grandmothers' recipes are proving to be not so old-hat after all." For example, horehound, an age-old relief for coughs and sore throats, still sells briskly. Sage and mint teas, to name only two, are widely used to treat colds; and aspirin is made from salicylic acid, the essential chemical in willow bark, known as a palliative since the dawn of time. Safflower has long been grown for what is now known as "polyunsaturated" oil. Foxglove yields digitalis. Ephedrine, the base of many nasal sprays, is extracted from a desert shrub. Indians in New Mexico still use their...

Daniel didn't think he'd remember too much about that evening; dropping acid is a hum-drum every night occurrence.

"It gives you a dewy look," says Ellen Bennett, who runs...
...Association of Chicago Priests, an independent group that has tangled with the cardinal before. The association's leaders declared, "In the ultimate analysis, we are not working for Cardinal Cody. We work for the Lord and for his people, especially for the poor." The protest was joined by acid-penned Sociologist and Journalist Father Andrew Greeley, who wrote in the July-August issue of the association's newsletter that Cody is a "madcap tyrant who has been imposed upon us ... Manly, forthright and honest dialogue" has failed, he said, and all that can be hoped...
