...rehabilitation program is on a lot of rapping with psychiatrists and fellow addicts. As in some civilian programs, methadone is used to help heroin addicts through the withdrawal period and satisfy their chemical needs. But the most dramatic technique is the "shoot-up" where the more serious addicts inject themselves or each other with a nausea-producing liquid. The shooting-up takes place in a crash pad of pulsating lights, acid-rock stereo, Day-Glo and even antiwar posters. The patients first smoke joints that taste like marijuana but are not, then inject themselves with needles. After the pleasant rush...
...Angeles physicians expressed concern over the belief, held by a growing number of drug addicts, that milk is capable of neutralizing the effects of heroin. Apparently believing that pushers use powdered lactose to dilute-and thus enlarge-their supplies, some addicts inject themselves with milk in an attempt to offset an overdose. The results are dangerous indeed, since milk contains proteins and fats that produce severe reactions when introduced directly into the bloodstream. According to Drs. Ernst Drenick and Kenneth Younger, one heroin addict whose friends injected milk into his veins became comatose and required extensive emergency treatment before...
Pindling is clearly using the Freeport issue to mollify Black Power extremists in his party and to inject a sense of nationalism against foreigners in the far-flung "out-islands." In the process, however, he has endangered a nation that depends on tourism for nearly 75% of its gross national product. Some blacks as well as whites are critical of Pindling's performance. "It is leading us all into disaster," says one prominent black, an ex-official who was forced by Pindling to retire. "This is a racist government, just as the white government was racist...
...Mountain High." "River Deep" was a mild disappointment to me because no effort was made to reproduce the arrangement or fullness of sound of the recorded version; on the other hand, if a live rendition could never approach Spector's "wall of sound," why not speed it up and inject it with soul? But without doubt, everyone got off on "Honky Tonk Women," complete with razzle-dazzle choreography. Then "Come Together," sung in Tina's fiercest, grittiest voice. Next came their version of Credence Clearwater's "Proud Mary." For two verses, it was kept very soft and lifting, but when...
Invading Viruses. Teminism, as the theory came to be called, received little support from other scientists; it suggested that RNA could pass genetic information along to DNA, a clear reversal of accepted dogma. But Temin refused to abandon his idea. He knew that tumor-causing RNA viruses somehow inject their deadly message permanently into the host cell; otherwise, the cancer would not be passed on during cell division to future generations of cells. Yet the invading viruses carry with them no DNA of their own. Therefore, Temin reasoned, they must somehow make DNA after invading the host cell. The only...
