...Association that at least 192 herbs are commercially available and used for smoking, either already prepared as cigarettes or sold loose for "roll your own" and pipe addicts. Many are come-ons containing nothing stronger than backyard greenery, but Siegel has found 44% to contain psychoactive substances that can alter behavior and sometimes make the user...
Neither Wall Streeters nor airline executives think the improvement so far this year will do much to alter the long-range problems of the industry, even though the spring quarter's performance appears to have canceled out the $115.3 million lost by the major trunks during the year's winter quarter.

...since 1789 had the word revolution been bandied about so freely in Paris as it was last week. Storming the barricades of conventional fashion was Designer Yves Saint Laurent, 40, whose latest haute couture collection could alter the way women will dress in the next decade.

While not disagreeing with the general principle, Dissenter Marshall did not believe that full desegregation had occurred in Pasadena. He feared, as a result, that judicial supervision of integration will now relax as soon as an initial "school attendance zone scheme [is] successful...
