...federal license. Many hippies -particularly the weekend variety-have taken to using the shorter-lived and still legal DMT (dimethyltryptamine), which produces only a 45-minute trip, or else the related DET (diethyltrypta-mine), an equally short haul. Others are turning on to the milder pre-LSD hallucinogens: cactus-derived mescaline, the American Indian's peyote (it takes many bitter peyote cactus buds to achieve a high; usually, nausea comes first to the uninitiated), or psilocybin, which produces a giggly, warm high...
...attempts, David Merrick had four flops, including the musical adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Still, there were many sellout holdover hits (Mame, Cactus Flower among others) and enough intriguing fresh attractions to build an all-time high Broadway gross of $55 million, up 2% from the season before. Among the high spots were: one major S.R.O. smash, the musical Cabaret; two comedy clicks, Robert Anderson's You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running and Peter Shaffer's Black Comedy; one important drama, Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, which...

...agricultural St. Croix, which is 26 miles long and up to six miles wide. St. Thomas offers the bustle of Charlotte Amalie, the islands' capital city, as well as ancient forts and quaint Danish architecture. St. Croix, quieter and less populated, boasts a rain forest and an arid, cactus-studded bluff, wildlife (deer, quail), a profusion of tropical fruit from papaya to pineapples, a golf course, and old plantations with such calypso names as "Slob," "Humbug" and "Jealousy." St. John remains mostly unsettled, its rugged terrain a protected national park; but for the wealthy it has the Rockefellers...
