Six weeks later, fellow "students" Chuck Humphrey and Wayne ("Nick") Cooke attempted to complete their course work in the approved manner--by swallowing a combination of alcohol and phenobarbital and tying plastic bags over their heads--in a Southern California motel room. Cooke made it to the next level; Humphrey didn't. Fortunately...
