...paper, cut into silhouettes that wind around the oddly-shaped space of the lobby. Entering the lobby, one is confronted with the long, cumbersome title, printed in 19th century type on the gray concrete of the front wall.

I merely suggested that it might be a good thing if psychologists, sociologists and pharmacologists were to get together and discuss the problem of a satisfactory drug for general consumption. Mescaline, I said, would not do. But a chemical possessing the merits of mescaline without its drawbacks would certainly be preferable...
