...says a great deal by telescoping events and people with minute details. Security Council delegates, for example, are surveyed characteristically by a running description of their ashtrays, water glasses, and pencils. On another visit to the U.N. (one of her favorite haunts) she examines the employee bulletin board and discovers such gems as "meeting of the U.N. Folk Dance Club on folk dances of France, with Mme. Olga Tarassova," then retires to the cafeteria, where she meets a young Indian eating prune yoghurt and listening to a baseball game via transistor radio. "Two to one, Kansas City," he says gloomily...
Lord Moran was, in fact, more than Churchill's doctor. From the time Sir Winston became Prime Minister of a besieged Britain in 1940 to the last, curt medical bulletin ("Shortly after 8 a.m., Sir Winston Churchill died at his London home"), Charles McMoran Wilson was his confidant and companion. He traveled 140,000 miles with Churchill, watched him grapple with Stalin and Roosevelt, nursed him through pneumonia in the North African campaign and the series of strokes that punctuated and palsied his postwar comeback as Prime Minister...
...Paranoid" seems to be Miss Bieberman's favorite word, and is certainly her "pet peeve." She writes in one Bulletin: "I try to keep from editorializing in the Bulletin, but I guess is's clear that one thing I'm for is candidness. Let yourself be known!"

Miss Bieberman relies on her readers for much of her information. At the end of one Bulletin she asks for reports on how to grow psilocybe mushrooms, and clippings related to psychedelic activities. She also wants volunteers for a nationwide Psychedelic Telephone Directory, because during "sessions" when the urge to call someone arises, "there should be someone more appropriate to phone than your mother, your ex-girl, your psychiatrist, or the President." Miss Bieberman also has things to sell, such as synthesis procedures at 25c each for LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, and DMT and "Let's Legalize Pot" buttons...
...Miss Bieberman cannot sell LSD or any other drug. In her Christmas issue of the Bulletin she advertised "two free 300mcg doses of LSD-25" to be given by Santa Claus. The season's greeting on the advertised coupon reads: "May visions of sugar cubes dance through your head." She reports that about 30 people responded to her offer, but she was dissappointed in the outcome of this experiment. "I wanted to make the drug available to people who had never taken it, but those who came had used it too many times before." She made the offer, she says...
