...William T. Moore reported that all 38 patients in their study were adversely affected by smoking pot. Of eight who became psychotic, four tried to kill themselves, and of 13 unmarried girls who became promiscuous (some with other girls and some with both sexes) seven became pregnant. Eighteen developed anxiety, depression, apathy or poor judgment, and many had trouble concentrating, remembering, speaking clearly, and distinguishing fact from fantasy. None of the patients, who were from 13 to 24 years old, used any drug but pot and none had a history of serious mental illness...
...Lukas also writes of those who failed to overcome the obstacles. His Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the two worlds of Linda Fitzpatrick, the eighteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy Connecticut family who was murdered in the East Village in 1967, is included here in an expanded version.

When Hopper joins the group, he is nonplussed. (Perhaps his dream has been greater than his reality.) He plays games with the girls. out of fear, amusement and affection; his narration tells us that...
...devotee like myself-I've spent what seems like the better part of the past eighteen months reading and rereading Fitzgerald and his biographers- Crazy Sundays offers quite a few incisive footnotes, as well as the gold mine of new screenplay material. But, if you know little about Fitzgerald, it would be wiser to start with Arthur Mizener's fine standard biography. The Far Side of Paradise ; then take a look at the underwritten but magnificently researched Zelda . Better yet, take advantage of the Fitzgerald revival by getting copies of his works themselves, large stacks of which...
