...areas of confidentiality, privacy and legality, if a situation came up in which they felt the research was valuable enough, they would probably allow the risk of much possible harm. In the area of human experimentation, morality is becoming bureaucratized, and ethics institutionalized. Research is king. Like an over-anxious mother, Harvard's watchdog committee examines, modifies and then approves of everything that comes its way. Fortunately there are no Milgrams in the research community...
...such a thing as too much pot, and such a thing as getting "stoned" on it. Stoned on alcohol, the ordinary social drunk can become maudlin, irrational, incoherent and perhaps physically ill. A smoker who has had too much pot, says the San Franciscan, tends to become "quite anxious, overly self-conscious and very ill at ease. These are usually intensely personal discomforts that are hard to articulate, but they are usually short-lived-say, two hours long at the most. I have had very moving illusory experiences under pot too. These aren't true medical hallucinations, since...
...Fishing for bait fish off Brisbane, Boadby cast his line and accidently hooked a passing great white shark near the tail. Blissfully unaware that it had been hooked, the shark swam on, then made a U-turn and headed back, obviously figuring to do a little bait fishing itself.

As head of an organization of onetime underground fighters known as the Partisans, Moczar, 54, intensely dislikes the Jews in government because many of them returned to Poland with Russian troops and held posts during Stalin's time. He is anxious to see them dismissed, even more anxious to see them replaced with his own men. Gierek, who was the first national figure to condemn the "Zionists," is fond of the youth argument since, at 55, he is the youngest member of the twelve-man ruling Politburo-to which Moczar does...
Most of the books fathered by the Viet Nam war and mothered by anxious publishers have been either captious collections of preconceptions or argumentative exercises in polemics. In Viet Nam, says Washington Post Reporter Ward Just, who covered the war there for 18 months, "it was no trick to find the facts to back up the impressions, or the preconceptions: facts were everywhere, and with suitable discrimination could be used to support almost any argument." To his credit, Just does not argue. To What End is an almost apolitical and unusually successful attempt to convey a sense of Viet...
