...drugs is a felony, and conviction can bar a person from many occupations for life. Drugs challenge the whole structure of adult values. In addition, most Americans' knowledge of drugs has been clouded by a widely promulgated series of bromides. When the topic comes up, most parents envisage the dope pusher standing outside the high school or the Mafioso prowling the streets in sunglasses. Marijuana, most adults believe, identically affects everyone who uses it and inevitably leads to the slow death of heroin addiction. A joint today, they think, means a junkie tomorrow...
October will bring The Concept, a chilling piece of theatre performed by members of Daytop Village, a community of ex-dope addicts. It was one of last season's biggest off-Broadway successes. This will be followed by Le Treteau de Paris' stark production of the Anouilh Antigone, which, when I saw it four years ago, struck me as an unusual presentation of a much too frequently done play...
...other is our Harvard (i. e., most students, younger members of the Faculty). Without our even asking, most of the members of the class of '73 will naturally join our Harvard-every year, the freshmen arrive more radical, less naive, more and more they have already tried dope, and like politics, they have gone beyond it.

O-K, so maybe we're sometimes wrong, but at least it's an open, honest violence. Pusey's Harvard-in the balanced sentences of its introductory...
...police braced for disaster. But the young again confounded their critics. True, drugs were easily available. There were one death (of a heart attack), one birth and three marriages. But no violence. Fewer than 150 youngsters were arrested-most of them on charges of indecent exposure or peddling dope. Around Dallas, this pacific result enraged angry citizens, who wanted the cops to bust the kids. Lewisville Chief of Police Ralph Adams, who had handled the situation with caution and restraint, resigned. "The trouble was coming from our own hometown gawkers," he said. "If I'd sent narcotics agents...
