...Fernando valiantly but seemed to be worrying too much about getting all the notes to do anything with them. Gregory Sandow as Rocco was well, embarrassing. Sandow is one of those rare examples of a ham with stage fright. His singing is at once precious and stiff.

BDAC has nothing to do with such notorious narcotics as heroin and morphine, which are policed by the Treasury Department's Bureau of Narcotics. Though BDAC has been given responsibility for surveillance of LSD, its main concern is with the amphetamines, barbiturates and the milder tranquilizers, which are legal on prescription and medically valuable-but are nonetheless dangerous when bandied about on campuses and highways...
