...Ithaca, Detective Maximo Jiminez donned dirty trousers and bright shirts, frequented the Collegetown area fringing the Cornell campus to gain the confidence of students. His work led to the arrest of 23 people, including one student from Cornell and another from Ithaca College, for selling or possessing LSD and marijuana. A Long Island University student, Andrew Gluck, 22, was accused of being a major supplier of drugs in Ithaca. Some of the sales, police contend, were made in Willard Straight Hall, Cornell's student union...
...became a parent. Up to now, such drugs have been used only in the treatment of advanced cancer, so the danger to children has been minimal. But last week, in the journal Science, a team of researchers at the State Uni- versity of New York in Buffalo reported that LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), the favorite magic carpet of psychedelic trippers may produce the same sort of chromosomal damage...
...Francisco is not so much a neighborhood as a state of mindlessness. The Erewhon of America's "pot left," a 10-by-15 block midtown section, has over the past year become the center of a new utopianism, compounded of drugs and dreams, free love and LSD. It is a far cry from the original Utopia, envisioned some 400 years ago by Sir Thomas More, whose denizens demanded six hours of work each day: the 7,000 mind-blown residents of San Francisco's "Psychedelphia" demand a zero-hour day and free freak-outs...

They preach every gospel from the 19th century socialism of France's Charles Fourier to the all-purpose caritas of St. Francis. Most of them-perhaps 80%-are steadily high on drugs ranging from LSD to such synthetic stimulants as Methedrine, Dexedrine and Benzedrine, which are known collectively as "speed." Gaudily painted trucks and buses thread with somnambulatory leisure through The Haight-Ashbury's sunny streets like evocations of an acid dream; the sickly scent of incense fills the air to mask the reek of marijuana...
...Haight-Ashbury Utopia needs any new source of supply. Narcotics arrests in the district last year more than trebled (from 148 in 1965 to 485 in 1966). A "lid" (22 grams) of marijuana sells for $10 (v. $25 in New York City) and a 100 microgram "tab" of LSD can be had for $4. Some pot peddlers even pass out supermarket-style trading stamps with each purchase. Apart from narcotics arrests, however, the crime rate shows no drastic escalation. During a January "Human Be-In" at Golden Gate Park, 10,000 hippies turned out to sing folk-rock songs, watch...
