Somewhere, somehow, John H. ("Chip") White Jr., 17, heard that inhaling the fumes from an aerosol can of cocktail-glass chiller was a cheap and safe way to turn on. So Chip, the son of a New York advertising executive, began sniffing the stuff. Last week he bought a fresh supply at a hardware store and took it to his house in Greenwich, Conn. He suggested to his sister, Lucie, 11, that they both try it. It was 8 p.m. While their parents sat downstairs, Chip and Lucie went into a second-floor bedroom. When Lucie inhaled...

To assert that MacBird rapes the old Swan with no intelligence and no compassion is evidently to miss the point, for Miss Garson makes no claims for her idiom or for her pentameters. "I worked for four months with Shakespeare in front of me," she reports, "so I know the difference...
...unpredictable. Military strategists cannot measure the exact range a virus will cover, the way they can for a fusion blast. Resistance to the disease would be unknown, and would vary with the victims. The problems of delivering the dose, which would have to be in the form of an aerosol cloud, are technically difficult, Meselson suggests. "Even if it could be improved in the remote future," he says, military control "would suffer along...
