...Mexico, undiluted and selling for $1 a joint ($5 for a matchboxful that can produce about ten joints). Lately, hippie chemists have learned to synthesize THC, which seems to be the active mind changer in marijuana, in a complex 17-step operation. Their formula, says a Government chemist, is "crude but effective...
...Every time you put your hand out," complained one top national Republican, "they spit in it." The metaphor may have been a little crude, but it could hardly have described more exactly relations between the national G.O.P. organization and the Young Republican National Federation. After a week of attempted handholding with a Y.R. convention in Omaha last week, senior Republicans may well have decided that it is easier to get along with Democrats...
...third weapon is oil. The Arabs refuse to ship any of their crude to the U.S. or Britain. Is that a real problem? The U.S. gets only 3% of its oil from Arab lands, could easily make that up by pumping more from its underused Texas wells.

He is also the inventor of such...
...upon Egypt's Suez Canal as it was during the 1956 war with Israel. Since that time, other nations have developed flourishing oil industries. Venezuelan oilmen were actually licking their lips in prospect of finally being in a position to raise prices on the country's crude. Many Arabs seemed to recognize their untenable oil situation. And thus, although Radio Damascus called on workers to "blow up oil pipelines all over the Arab world," nobody showed up to light a match...
