Anybody with three nicknames like "Jim," "Red" and "Mac" figures to be pretty square. But freckle-faced James McGlothlin, star pitcher for the American League's California Angels, considers himself pretty far-out. "I smoke," he says. "And I drink-at family gatherings. Once I went to a nightclub. And once I had one too many, and my family sent...
While Jim McGlothlin looks and talks like a boy, he pitches like a pro. Playing for a team that as late as June 8 was in last place, eleven games off the pace, Jim has won eight games and lost only two. His earned-run average is 1.80 -best of any starting pitcher in the American League-and he leads the league in shutouts with five.

"The dangers have been grossly overrated and the legal penalties are far too severe...
These studies concern hazards. Now let's look at some facts about the beneficial aspects of consciousness-expanding drugs. There are four papers summarizing questionnaire data from subjects after consciousness-expanding experiences. Ditman et al, McGlothlin, Leary et al and Savage. In each study the percentage of subjects reporting positive life change and dramatic insight runs around 66. These data are the more astonishing when we realize that they are reported by persons who were not in formal therapy but, for the most part, experimental subjects...
