...came as something of a surprise last week when the Consumer Union, an independent, nonprofit organization, published a 623-page study that advocated complete legalization of marijuana as well as a nationwide methadone program (see BEHAVIOR). "Marijuana is here to stay," said the report. "No conceivable law-enforcement program can curb its availability." But American conservatives may have arched their eyebrows well above the hairline when they glimpsed the latest issue of William F. Buckley Jr.'s staunchly nonpermissive National Review.

Actually, the 1797 house built by Andrew Shriver and his brother David Shriver Jr. is now owned and operated as a museum by the Union Mills Homestead Foundation Inc., a nonprofit organization with an open membership and, I might add, very little money. Their board only wishes that there were a Shriver Foundation to fall back...
