...soldiers will get letters in the mail and you'll see them opening the letters and it's completely blank paper inside, which was soaked in LSD. They'll tear off the corner and chew on it. You see a soldier and he'll be soaking the sleeve of his fatigues and then you'll see him chew on it later during drills. He soaked it in an LSD solution...
...will launch him into an imitation of Jona than Winters imitating an old granny. He can spread his eyes wide open into a wow.

This could be an example of British understatement. Or, judging by what Williams chooses to include in his listings for, say, July 1763-"Mir Kasim of Murshidabad, defeated by Thomas Adams and deposed, takes refuge in Oudh"-it may simply be a case of rushing an unfinished manuscript into print...
