Potter, who was originally slated to graduate in '62, had his class changed to '61 so he could graduate and move into Child Hall with his friends. There, for two football seasons, he posted "Potter's Prognostications" outside his first-floor room. People got in the habit of walking by the room every week, because his system proved accurate about 75 per cent of the time (professional sportswriters average about 66 per cent accuracy...

Her shifts between excuse and denial of re-starting her dope habit again, or between attacks on James' drinking and a quiet pride in his love are done quickly and smoothly.

The two other major contributors are the user's psychological makeup and his conditioned behavioral pattern-the strong likelihood that a return to old haunts and old friends will ease the post-addict back into old habits. Cyclazocine has no psychological effects, but Jaffe and Brill wondered if it were not possible to use it to help break behavioral patterns. They decided to try it on outpatients on the theory that when an addict's surroundings led him to take dope, he would get no lift...
