...then proceeded to attack the White House, the Supreme Court, others "in high places," and Communists: "Officials in Washington have been told of how the Communists train Americans to engage police officers so as to attack and burn in other areas." But an even more striking switch than this paranoid drivel was his about-face on welfare: "If we are to have real peace and progress and help those who really deserve help, then we must cut back on our socialistic welfare programs that are making bums out of many Americans who could otherwise be successful contributing members...
Usually marijuana produces a feeling of euphoria and exaltation; subjective judgments of time, distance, vision and hearing are prolonged. It can also cause paranoid episodes.

The men responsible for all of this comprise a remarkably young group of radical leaders who belong to the far-left wing of the Baath Party, a mystical Arab brotherhood whose main aim is the nationalization of everything and everyone in the Middle East. Since they seized power from a more moderate group of Baathists last year, Syria's new leaders have turned the country onto a path of near-paranoid violence. Oddly enough, the three men who administer the government are all trained physicians: Premier Youssef Zayyen, 36; Chief of State Noureddin Attassi, 37; and Foreign...
