...Medicine has known for years that a virus of the papova group causes warts, horny skin growths that can develop-and disappear-rapidly. Yet doctors cannot agree upon the proper cure. Some recommend surgery, cautery with an electric needle, localized freezing, or acid to burn away the tissue; a few even fall back on folk remedies like touching warts with a copper penny or with a slice of raw potato. Now a group of Massachusetts General Hospital physicians has reported in the Archives of General Psychiatry that warts can also be removed by hypnosis. The researchers reached this conclusion after...
Following an initial 1956-57 study in which 17 infants were deprived of linoleic acid, a fatty substance essential for growth and development, the same research team repeated its experiment in 1962 with 428 infants, seven of whom died during the course of the investigation...
...East Coast premiere, has a story about that. The rich and varied life of the Biblical David had always intrigued him, and when Schwartz was at the University of Minnesota as playwright-in-residence the idea took form: "We were sitting around when a friend of mine who was acid-tripping went into a wild impersonation of John Witchboy, the character in Richardson and Berney's Dark of the Moon.

...Castaneda says he does not smoke or drink hard liquor; he does not use marijuana; even coffee jangles him. He says he does not use peyote any more, and his only drug experiences took place with Don Juan. His own encounters with the acid culture have been unproductive. Invited to a 1964 East Village party that was attended by such luminaries as Timothy Leary, he merely found the talk absurd: "They were children, indulging in incoherent revelations. A sorcerer takes hallucinogens for a different reason than heads do, and after he has gotten where he wants to go, he stops...
