...costing from $2.50 to $5 for 100 micrograms, enough for an eight-to ten-hour trip. Another way of transporting small quantities is to mix them in water, soak the solution up in a handkerchief and let it dry-to be cut up later into squares, which LSD users chew. LSD is hard to track down because the compound is colorless, tasteless and odorless, and so potent that a gram, equal to one million micrograms, or 10,000 trips, could be stashed in a single cigarette. So far, illegal LSD is manufactured largely by amateurs, but potential profits represent...
...major element in his acne treatment is diet, a prescription that is not so simple as it sounds. Mothers complain that grown boys and girls keep on drinking milk, as in childhood, "because they don't like to chew meat or any food that takes time to eat-they're in too much of a rush."

He is also a bit too temperamental for traditionalists' tastes-protesting volubly whenever he thinks an opponent has blocked his way, flinging his arms toward heaven when...
...Edward Warren announced that his Coal & Allied Industries Ltd. would open a new mine in Cessnock, 80 miles north of Sydney; it will be worked with automatic equipment, including a U.S.-manufactured continuous miner, which is operated by three men, crunches coal seams with spinning metal teeth and can chew out ten tons a minute. Helped by government tax allowances, mine owners have so far spent $236 million on such new equipment; 98% of Australia's rich black coal is now efficiently mined by machine instead of pick and shovel. Mechanical equipment has trimmed the work force from...
Third World Force. The subject of rice probably never came up before the well-fed delegates at the nine-day Tri-Continental Conference, which drew 505 delegates from 85 countries to Havana's Hotel Libre. They had enough ideology to chew on, what with Peking's delegates bickering with the Russians and Moscow's men biting right back. Castro himself was all unity...
