...fa-yuh dee-stroyed by Dr. Chay-iz-wi-yuck," says Tammy (Sandra Dee). "When he isn't around, Ah git such a sweetly sa-yud emptiness that it jest cree-yups through the crannies of man beein'. It's got me plum' discombobulated." Observes Dr. Cheswick (Peter Fonda), with face as straight (and wooden) as a tongue depressor: "I like the way you say things, Tammy-it's so unusual."

As an added turn of the screw, production quotas for collective output have been sharply increased, in hopes that the peasants will have to spend more time working for Mao Tse-tung and less for tsu-fa, meaning "self-prosperity...

As recently as 1959 a newspaper exposé showed that Georgia's only mental hospital, saddled with the stigmatic name of State Hospital for the Insane at Milledgeville, was a monstrous snake pit. Behind the façade of an administration building that looks like the White House, it was crowded to its rotten, rat-infested rafters with 12,000 patients. At least 3,000 were senile oldsters who did not belong there-any more than the epileptics, dope addicts or alcoholics who jammed the hospital. Comparatively few patients ever got better, and those who did succeeded...
