...majority of users are experimenters, who take a drug several times and quit. Even if the users who are heavily dependent on these drugs (perhaps somewhat less than 2,000,000) are combined with addicts (about 100,000), the sum is smaller than the estimated national total of 6,000,000 alcoholics. Some experts even maintain that the "drug problem" has become the "drug-problem problem"?one more distorted priority diverting attention from real national needs...

Samantha in Bewitched will bear her second child in November; Agents 86 and 99 in Get Smart are expecting twins...
...several years been called Hollywood's next James Dean or next Marlon Brando, probably because he doesn't talk much. In the premiere, Parks laconically brought an autistic child to his senses in a scenic Wyoming camp for disturbed children and then varoomed off, presumably toward a less tearjerking episode...
