...think a majority of the Norwegians deserve a better description. The article could have been written by any Norwegian Eurocrat trying to cast suspicion on the Norwegian grass roots of anti-Marketeers...
...International Affairs who, as you know, spend most of their time analyzing high level serial photographs of North Vietnam for the Air Force. They report that careful analysis of the shadows (which indicates the position of the sun when the photographs were taken) and the length of the grass (which indicates in which picture the grass was shorter) demonstrates that the photographs were printed by The Crimson in reverse order. The implications of this report should be obvious, even to you: Mr. Davis was retreating and attempting to defend himself against what might be formed an aggressive thrust...
...strongman tendencies in check. So long as our demonstrations can be brushed aside in citizen's minds with the tag of "cynical student rebellion," Nixon has little to worry about.

He rarely touches coffee-let alone grass-and confesses that he would be "terrified" to take peyote except under Don Juan's guidance. The phrase "drug culture" is ceaselessly bandied about in America. It is a swollen cliché, and not very descriptive either. Culture, as Castaneda would say, is consensus. Instead we have abundant drug use, which is a different matter...
