...explosive issues: The 1960's have seen some explosive issues torment the United States--particularly the Civil Rights issue internally and the Vietnam war externally. Internal justive and external peace are both inherently compelling issues for idealistic youth. Coming together they have abetted each other. Beyond these two issues lie others of great concern--control of the bomb, adjustment to the computer, accommodation to the mass corporation and government agency, and much else...
...They can have a loose network of friendships and contacts. As a consequence, they can concentrate their talents and their attention at selected pressure points quite readily. A form of guerrilla warfare has been possible with few student casualties but much impact--a strange war where the casualties often lie elsewhere and the impact may owe more to the exaggeration of the enemies than to the aid of the allies. The new style of flamboyant dress and flamboyant speech fits the headlines and the TV screens as no milder performances would...
...that because of their cost and the need to take them on a rigorous schedule, the pills were only for the few in advanced countries with high literacy and living standards. For those in the slums and back-lands of such nations as Brazil and Malaysia, hope seemed to lie with a much cheaper and simpler mechanical contraceptive, the intrauterine device, or IUD.

Truth drugs, says Redlich, put patients in "a twilight zone where it is very difficult to tell truth from fantasy." Some people, in fact, can lie at will under the truth drugs. In an experiment that pretty much proved this, the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Hospital supplied volunteers with a readymade lie, promised them $5 apiece if they would stick to it under Amytal. Most of them stuck to it and collected...
...Guarantee. Even more of a problem is the fact that disturbed people who believe their own fantasies continue to do so even under truth drugs-a factor that also is known to produce unreliable results on polygraph (lie detector) tests. The Kennedy assassination, of course, holds particular fascination for many such individuals. Houston Psychiatrist C. A. Dwyer says that he knows of 15 people in his city alone who have spun incredible tales about the assassination (one tells of having seen Jacqueline Kennedy give Lee Harvey Oswald money), adds that some of them would probably give much the same accounts...
