Wallace looks good. His hair is mod-shaggy down to his collar, and he rubs in a little brown dye to cover up the graying streaks. He is fashionably dressed and sometimes downright dapper.

To determine whether speed could cause such damage, Rumbaugh and his team injected five rhesus monkeys with methamphetamine every other day for two weeks...
