...laughter who turned on to every stimulant-from simple, undrugged fun to crystallized "speed" (methedrine, a high-powered amphetamine), which he occasionally sold for profit.

Ross Cortese, one of the nation's foremost developers of self-contained retirement villages, was forced to suspend sales and refund some down payments recently at four of his "Leisure World" communities in Maryland, New Jersey and California. To reduce his heavy land-carrying costs, he is also trying to sell the developments. Despite brisk business (1,000 houses and 600 rental units in five years), Joppatowne, Md., a 1,400-acre community near Baltimore, ran out of cash this spring; and Developer Leon Panitz filed...
