...long ago that you couldn't show a woman divorced from one husband, let alone three." In last week's opening episode, Maude had fairly tame set-tos with a door-to-door salesman and a psychiatrist, but her future outings will include a look at legalizing marijuana and a fling at black-radical-chic party giving ? la Leonard Bernstein. In one episode not yet okayed by the network, she even gets pregnant and decides to seek an abortion, while her shaken husband looks into the vasectomy market...
...technology that the nine justices of the Supreme Court wrestled with last week was relatively crude: a heat-sensing gun pointed at a house in Florence, Ore., by federal agents on the lookout for homegrown marijuana. In 1992, a cop using the device had spotted a lot of excess heat coming off high-intensity grow lights. Police searched the house, found more than 100 plants and arrested one of its occupants--a small-time marijuana grower named Danny Kyllo. Kyllo appealed the case all the way to the highest court, arguing that by using infrared technology to pry into...
Barbara Ehrenreich's article on pre-employment testing, "What Are They Probing For?" [ESSAY, June 4], was much more a pro-marijuana speech than a legitimate examination of management practices.

The contents include Faulkner-like tales of a Texan adolescent (later reworked into "Texas Summer") , an inner-city delinquent saga, a blissed-out, Kerouac-like account of a road trip, a journey into the mind of a tormented worker in the Paris metro, and an artfully drawn portrait of a wannabe hipster...
...American evangelists in a grenade blast in Zamboanga. This was followed by a string of kidnappings, massacres and extortion operations. Cassette tapes of Janjalani's jihad sermons began circulating, and other gangs of Moro brigands in the Sulu islands?who specialized in running drugs and guns, kidnapping and growing marijuana?accepted Janjalani as their chief. Abu Sayyaf's increasing notoriety attracted the notice of fellow comrades-in-arms from the Afghan war. Bin Laden's brother-in-law and trusted aide, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, set up the Al-Maktum university in Zamboanga, a 30-minute boat ride from Basilan island...
