...behind the Avid Book-Reader sits the silver haired Business Man. Wire rimed glasses, bloody Mary in the middle of the afternoon, cell phone and laptop. Business Man always asks for more peanuts. Crisp oxford shirt, paisley tie. Business Man talks loudly in the airport terminal, to his wife, to his secretary, to himself. Business Man reads Business Week or Fortune 500. Glamourpuss has never touched these publications and therefore has nothing in common with Business Man. Flights next to men such as these tend to seem twice as long as they actually are. Especially if Business Man falls asleep...
Unfortunately, the extreme unionists withdrew their support for the agreement during the negotiation for the IRA’s disarmament. Hard-line unionists, led by Rev. Ian Paisley of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), want to prevent the peace process from continuing by blocking Trimble’s reelection today.

For some, the escape hatch is in hallucinogenic drugs?like magic mushrooms, which are legal due to a loophole that permits their sale as long as they are not specifically designated for consumption. (Peyote containing mescaline can also be sold through this same circumvention.) Others are getting their kicks through...
...result of all this is a community imprinted with a paisley pattern of psychedelia, a social fabric tie-dyed with a new rebelliousness and swirled with a growing sense of social malaise. "Some kids like to come up to my office to chat," says Muneo Ogishi, owner of the Elephant's Egg, a chain of Tokyo head shops that sells magic mushrooms. "They say they're using the drugs to try and meditate." It seems Japanese youth are looking for something, although it is still unclear exactly what. It is certainly not the social consciousness that drove the original hippy...
