Three years later, jet airliners, interstate highways, direct long-distance telephone dialing, and Polaroid cameras were speeding up people and life. New things and words were appearing almost every day: ZIP codes, Weight Watchers, Valium, transistors, computers, lasers, the Pill, LSD...
Starting in high school, Ned confesses, he became "infatuated with the drug subculture," using marijuana, LSD and mescaline.
