Swallowing the first capsule, I wondered how exactly it would kick in. Within minutes my mouth dried up, as if I had swallowed a handful of cotton balls. Water and chewing gum soon solved that problem. Then halfway through Letterman, around the time of my nightly kitchen crawl, something peculiar happened.

The squares and the streets near train and subway stations overflowed with vendors peddling rubbish, anything to make a living.
