These and other controversies are discussed with varying degrees of thoroughness in Timothy Leary's The Political of Ecstasy (G. P. Putnam's Sons Publishers, 372 pp.), a mishmash of old speeches and papers that does an much harm by its psychedelic raving as good by pointing up some little-known facts about the drug. Leary's other book, High Priest (World Publishing Co., 354 pp), its jacket sporting a photo of Leary looking like Alexander the Great, is a boring account of the master's trips. Has no information...
...artificial flare-ups between leaders and followers. And to pick up the pace still more, he produces some split-second moral dilemmas for W. Earp. Sturges should have been loyal either to Sergio Leone or to the TV economy of Gunsmoke. As it is, we get a mishmash of temper tantrums and long trail rides--and in the bargain, no hero...
...William Everson. Incisive, objective and generously illustrated, the book traces the development of the team from their first silent two-reeler, Putting Pants on Philip (1927)-a fast-paced trifle with elements of homosexual humor-through their hilarious, Oscar-winning The Music Box (1932), to the sad, tired, misconceived mishmash, Atoll K (1952).

Moreover, if the doctrine of Christ's descent into hell were part of some primitive religion, he said, we would call it nonsense...
...With lofty disdain, this report decries the "scavengers" who continue to profit by President Kennedy's assassination and its aftermath. But it joins the very group it pretends to despise by presenting little more than a rehash of old tapes of the four black days in Dallas, a mishmash of Warren Report detractors, and the smuggled-out bedside interview with Jack Ruby shortly before he died. The interview, like the record, is shabby and unrevealing...
