Many of the cigarettes are imported from India, some under the name of Mint Bidis. These contain thorn apple, a common term for the botanist's Datura stramonium, also known as Jimson weed. It can be highly poisonous in large doses and yields strong hallucinatory drugs. One patient, who arrived at the U.C.L.A. Neuropsychiatric Institute in a confused state, out of touch with reality, had smoked six to eight Mint Bidis a day for a week; he needed three days to recover. Another, who had smoked about ten in three hours, had the same reaction but recovered within...

Eraser's talks with Ford, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and other officials centered mainly on common defense interests and trade, with the P.M. pressing the U.S. to import more beef from Down Under.

This year's support price, scheduled to be announced next month, is expected to go as high as $415 a ton, v. a world price of $250. Each year the Government buys up huge amounts of peanuts; last year it purchased about...
Other coups followed as B.C. moved into real estate speculation and sake brewing. In 1952, he decided that South Korea "could only prosper through trade." He set up his Samsung (Three Star) export-import company to do just that, and the firm quickly provided profits that Lee shrewdly invested in other ventures. Now Samsung is the umbrella of a 17-company conglomerate that includes Seoul's finest department store, one of its largest newspapers, a group of sugar refineries, paper factories and an electronics firm. Together they rang up sales of $731.9 million last year...
