...decades at the same time that bottle feeding has increased. But to conclude from this that bottle feeding has caused, or even contributed to, this decline in infant mortality is statistical nonsense. Infant mortality rates in New York City declined markedly between 1940 and 1970, while addiction to heroin increased and while divorce rates rose dramatically. But no one would argue that infant deaths were reduced by heroin or divorce. Clearly, infant mortality rates have dropped because of a host of factors such as improved health care, immunizations, higher standards of living...
...future of rock's bad, bad band has been in doubt ever since the Royal Canadian Mounted Police found 22 grams of heroin in the possession of Lead Guitarist Keith Richard 20 months ago. Out on $25,000 bail, Richard has been touring with the other Rolling Stones, but faced a possible seven-year jail term when he came to trial. Last week in Toronto he listened somberly as his lawyer described him as "a tragic person" with "a poor self image" who became a heroin addict but who has now kicked the habit. A sympathetic judge put Richard...
...lark-or the winner-take-all $10 prize money (losers get a couple of free drinks). Salas, a railway shipping worker, comes to fight "to get the fears inside of me out." Ranare, who grew up in the South Bronx, came to Arizona a year ago to beat a heroin habit, which, happily, he did. "My idea," he says, "is to work out my frustrations from work and from the old lady." Though the club tries to match fighters evenly, any two people who want to fight each other, no matter what their experience or size, are allowed...
Keith Richards, on the other hand, is much better off. He pleaded guilty for heroin possession up in Canada last Tuesday, and got off with a year's probation and orders for the Stones to play a benefit for Canada'a blind people (I bet Canadian sales of dark glasses and canes triple). Some judge. As a friend of mine says, he showed a little "sympathy for the junkie." It's comforting to know that Canada is now the place to go not only to dodge the draft, but to do serious drugs...
...situation is not much better on campus. He somehow remembers a pusher going door to door in Kirkland House selling heroin--curious, in retrospect, considering you can't even bum a cigarette in Kirkland House nowadays. During punching season, he is shocked by a conversation with Porcellian Club members, who tell him he must learn to party if he joins. He declines. He bemoans the decadence symbolized by Linda Lovelace's 1974 visit to Harvard...
