To end "the sale of slavery to the young," he called for a narcotics-control act that would impose harsher penalties for the sale of LSD "and other dangerous drugs," and urged adding 219 agents to the present total...

Noting that the evening news on TV is not exactly Dingdong School, San Francisco Psychiatrist Gene Sagan says that "it is natural for man to murder and destroy.
