...chemistry. Essentially, what is required is a batch of lysergic acid dissolved in some other chemicals plus a solution of diethylamine (a volatile liquid used in processes like vulcanizing). The two batches, cooled to freezing and stirred together, result in a solution that contains LSD. The trick is to extract the LSD from the solution. This can be done with the help of chloroform, benzine, a vacuum evaporator or steam bath, and a glass gadget known as a chromatographic column (available in any chemistry supply shop...
...Travers--both interesting and neither terribly well structured. Auden was too cagey to say anything at all, and Miss Travers--who seems to have written her own interview--said rather too much rather too well to preserve the conventions of the occasion. The failure of The Island to extract from Auden anything more significant than his remarks on the American postal system led the interviewer into a few unskillful New Yorkerisms ("The Island wanted more coffee"..."As a matter of fact, the Island has been to Iceland"); (and the mountain to Muhammed?). Despite Miss Travers' sweet disarming mysticism, which occasionally...
Nevertheless the question of bomb supplies was a sensitive issue. The Defense Department had admitted earlier this month that it had to buy back 5,570 bombs sold in 1964 as surplus to a German firm that planned to extract the nitrates for fertilizer. The bombs were sold for $1.70 each and repurchased for $21 apiece-a bargain, by Pentagon reasoning, since they now cost around $400 apiece to make...
Trial by Police. Clearly, the critical confrontation today is often reached in the station-house "squeal room," where police "make" cases by eliciting presumably voluntary confessions. Although the Fifth Amendment bars the use of any confession that police extract by even the most subtle threats or promises, and though no American need answer a single police question, those facts are generally unknown to the vast majority of arrested Americans-the poor in pocket, mind or spirit. For the Fifth Amendment does not automatically command police to inform anyone of his rights; the suspect himself must know those rights in order...
There, Dr. D. Carleton Gajdusek and his colleagues made an extract of the brain material and injected it into the brains of monkeys and a two-year-old chimpanzee named Georgette. Nothing happened to the monkeys, and for 20 months Georgette kept on growing like a normal chimp. Then, last May, Georgette became apathetic and lethargic. Her lower lip drooped, and she shivered at the slightest chill. Soon, she was staggering and stumbling as she walked; if she reached for a banana, she missed it. When she could hardly move her limbs and screamed at the gentlest touch, the researchers...
