...have provided the first objective article on marijuana [April 19] that I have seen in a national magazine. Pot is becoming a social phenomenon, but the lives of many are being ruined by the felony convictions incurred by the carrying or use of even one gram of pot.

Valente hopes that the variety of the new machine will help to lengthen what he calls the "espresso belt." It now runs through Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and parts of Austria and Germany. The U.S., Valente admits, has so far shown relatively little taste for coffee Italian style...
