...with outside pockets, for $150. Paris Couturier Givenchy, in the U.S. last week, promised that his designs next year will include a purse for men. But in Italy, no one is waiting around. Shops in Rome have been doing a snappy business in men's bags for almost a year...
Four-channel sound, soon to be available only on prerecorded tape (and only from Vanguard Records) has rich though agonizing implications for the record industry. For years, enthusiasts have predicted that tape would replace records, pointing out that it wears longer and is almost impossible to scratch. Its major flaw-tape hiss-has finally been alleviated with the improvement of tape materials. The cartridge and cassette business is booming. Some seers now predict that the wonders of quadrisonic sound will provide a final push for tape against disks...

They defend ultimate legalization only because they believe that its probable costs to society are outweighed by the disadvantages of continued prohibition. They point out that as long as marijuana is forbidden it will...
Then I went home and waited for the right mood. Almost any will do, although it's best not to smoke if you're extra anxious or depressed, since grass can amplify these feelings. I was also warned to be careful if I mixed pot in food-Alice B. Toklas brownies or "apple turn-on." These concoctions can take as long as two hours to have any effect, and if you get impatient and eat more, you can start feeling paranoid and even vomit. I learned to smoke with friends. Pot is best when shared with other people...
