...Manhattan, four F.W. Woolworth stores and a supermarket were fire-bombed one night last week with reasonably sophisticated incendiary devices ignited by acid. Two days later in Washington, bombs went off at four Latin American embassies...
Fatal Flaw. It promises to be an acid test. At the annual meeting of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization in Manila last week, Washington's allies showed little enthusiasm for any regional plan. Thai Foreign Minister Thanat Khoman told TIME Correspondent Herman Nickel that his nation might decline to provide any substantial assistance unless its own security were "directly threatened." Some U.S. officials are convinced that Thanat is merely trying to squeeze more aid funds out of Washington; so far Bangkok has "loaned" Phnom-Penh some river-patrol craft, as well as five T-28 propeller-driven bombers...

Says former Education Minister Zalman Aranne: "She leaves scorched people and scorched earth behind...
Holder Molecules. To confirm his hypothesis, Koshland and two young Berkeley colleagues-Dan R. Storm and Kenneth Neet-devised an experiment of classical simplicity. It involved the common chemicals ethyl alcohol and acetic acid, which, in the presence of a catalyst, quickly combine to form an aromatic compound called ethyl acetate (without a catalyst, the reaction occurs very slowly). Instead of using standard catalysts, however, the scientists chemically locked both molecules into various synthetic ring-shaped, larger molecules called "holders," which are in effect chemical vises. After many attempts, they hit upon a holder that gripped the ethyl alcohol...
...There is a fourteen-year-old boy who has been tripping all night, and he has the I Ching clutched in his hands. And there's another boy not much older, an acid dealer, who is tripping and trying to hide his dope before it gets too light. And a little girl named Roberta with a crumpled velvet dress and great big eyes. And a guy named Rufus who has left his wife and child in Maine and wants to go to New Mexico to look for Don Juan, who was the peyote man in a look. Rufus wants...
