...four "reviews of the scientific literature" impress one with how tentative and unco-ordinated research has been. They seem to keep reviewing each other. Sanford M. Unger's is the most informative; the others can be ignored. The most frightening kind of experimental fooling-around mentioned in the book is Eric Kast's work in Chicago. Kast decided to send 128 doomed cancer patients into hopped-up oblivion by giving them LSD without warning or previous instruction. He then calmly graphed the depression and "fear and panic" reactions, hallucinations and morbid fears of death...
...glad to see it. I'm sorry that someone at the CRIMSON felt he had to label this essay "A Segregationist's Viewpoint," though. Rorer definitely does not impress me as a segregationist, in any legitimate sense of the word.

A few sample monasteries and nunneries, while shorn of their lands, are meticulously maintained to impress and soothe foreign Buddhists. But Peking has killed the living faith: of half a million monks in China in 1949, it is estimated that barely a few thousand survive...
...identity checks and circumcision examinations. As they learn but can scarcely credit, they are destined for the crematory furnaces. Miller assembles a doctor, an actor, a painter, an electrician and others, all representative enough to express the playwright's viewpoints, and none real enough to leave the impress of their own specific personalities...
