...Highgrove, Calif., last winter, a neighbor tipped the police that Mr. and Mrs. Robert Edwards had on their back porch a suspicious package containing "a dark green vegetable substance that appeared similar to alfalfa but did not smell like alfalfa." Without a search warrant, the police rummaged in the Edwardses' backyard trash cans and found a few pinches of pot. They forced their way into the house, arrested the couple and proceeded to search the premises until, they claimed later, they found caches of marijuana and LSD. After the defendants were each sentenced to between one and ten years...
...food: "I have never been in a city where it is so easy to lose weight." On the whole, however, India gets high grades from the professor. It is Washington that he really cannot abide. He complains of the way jet fighters were shipped to India's unfriendly neighbor Pakistan. It was, he remarks acidly, about as furtive as "mass sodomy on the B.M.T. at rush hour." But it is another vexing American institution, the State Department-which he considers short on policy, long on platitude-that Galbraith finds hardest to forgive.

Little more than a legitimate concern for its own self-interest will lead the university to reflect seriously and act positively on the obligations of its urban citizenship...

Shortly after lunch, Elbrick left for the embassy. He never arrived. His Cadillac swung into a narrow street, a red Volkswagen swerved to a halt in front of it, and a blue one pulled up behind. Three gunmen got in the car and drove on to Rio's 2,300-ft. Corcovado Peak, apparently chloroforming the ambassador along...
...training qualifications-it turned out badly on his first two tries. He felt that both doctors talked down to him, when they condescended to talk at all, and treated him impersonally. After Bynder moved to Colorado, he got his doctor the way most people do-by asking a neighbor for a recommendation. This doctor is roughly 15 years older than Bynder, whereas the first two were close to his own age-and therefore might have been trying to maintain their authority by keeping their distance. Most important, says Bynder, his present Colorado doctor "takes the time and effort to explain...
