...cities. Though Johnson is a man of the 20th century (born in 1908), he nonetheless seems the product of a more distant past. His politics and philosophy were annealed in the inhospitable forges of the Dust Bowl and the Depression. To the generation that spawned underground movies and acid-rock music, he often seems as remote as Betelgeuse. Hippies, college students and Eastern sophisticates are not the only people who look on him as a parvenu from the prairies. Living in grandiose isolation at either end of an axis that stretches from the Pedernales to the Potomac, Johnson...
...idol." Cheetah also uncovered the "first great mass producer of LSD," a University of Virginia drop-out named Augustus Owsley Stanley III. Operating in a way that might have made a financial success of Edgar Allan Poe, Owsley married a sensuous U.C.L.A. chemistry major and went into acid production in a laboratory near the Berkeley campus. He has turned out an estimated ten million pills, worth between $2 and $5 apiece...
...years old. In 1967, I neither burned draft cards, dropped out of society, demonstrated against the war in Viet Nam, meditated with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, shot acid, popped bennies, smoked bananas, participated in the sexual revolution, grooved in the East Village, married a man thrice my age, grew organic vegetables in Topanga Canyon, nor forced flowers and love on passersby.

...A.M.C.'s hopes rest on a piggyback system of two 25-lb. nickel-cadmium batteries and two 75-lb. lithium batteries being developed by Gulton Industries of Metuchen, NJ. The lithium batteries are for sustained speeds, can store 15 times as much energy per pound as lead-acid batteries now used in conventional cars. For quick acceleration-a safety factor lacking in present electric-car designs-the nickel-cadmium batteries would cut in briefly, could zap the car from a standstill to 50 m.p.h. in 20 seconds. And for longer battery life between charges, the Amitron would have...
...playing her maturation for good laughs and better audience identification, emphasizing the quick intelligence of Shakespeare's heroine. Danius Turek is a triumph of physical casting as Orlando, a huge, handsome, stereotype sweetheart, his readings and emotional range consistently pleasing. As portrayed by Carolyn Firth, Celia is at once acid and naive, and such a fine foil to Rosalind that their scenes together continually spark the show. ames Burt is a good Touchstone, if a strange one--his line readings are often incredibly fast, his hand gestures are always excessively generous, but his physical agility is delightful.
