Since San Francisco is the trend setter in hippiedom, it is likely that the same disillusion will soon become evident in other hippie centers like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. Commercialism was rife last week among the "work tribes" of Manhattan's Lower East Side: craft shops were bursting with tourists and the Group Image was busy shooting not speed but a full-length psychedelic western titled Indian Givers, in which Guru Timothy Leary plays, of all unlikely roles, a sheriff. Already a gnawing sense of malaise is setting in. Says one of the Group...
South Viet Nam last week entered the second and final stage of its return to constitutional rule. Throughout the country, 1,240 candidates opened their campaigns for the election on Oct. 22 to fill the 137 seats in the Lower House of the new National Assembly. Since many of its members will come from hamlets and villages rather than the big cities, the Lower House will, for the first time, give the people of the countryside a voice in the Saigon government. The new House is also expected to reflect the country's Buddhist majority, thus offsetting the heavy...
Depressing History. Cholestyramine's power to lower cholesterol levels was noted early, and Merck Sharp & Dohme tried to develop a medicinal form for this purpose. One trouble was that it smelled like decayed fish and tasted lit tle better.

That, nonetheless, is the rating that she covets, and with good reason. Mrs. Hicks collected 28.1% of last week's vote (compared with White's 19.8%), principally from the large blue-collar and lower-middle-class groups who feel bypassed by federal and city welfare programs and who support her unsuccessful attempts to block measures promoting public-school integration...
Still the city fought for its life. Writing off fashionable Laurel Park's $50,000 homes because the area is lower than the arroyo lip, Harlingen took its stand in the central district, sandbagging dikes across streets wherever crews could find relatively high ground. Bulldozers gouged a 10-ft.-high earth embankment across one stretch, sacrificing the airport to save the city's core. Water mains burst and sewers backed up, spurting like geysers, as exhausted workers clung to the defense perimeter. Armed guards battled diamondback rattlesnakes as plentiful as worms after rain. Bushes turned black with water...
