...hard-core ghetto youth. They are the ones who are conscious of the extreme social and psychological gap between what they are and what they are "supposed" to be in order to "make it" in this society. They are the ones that grow up in a world of soul, pot, and poor schools, only to be told in their late teens by a man in a business suit that they had betten change fast if they want to escape. And they are the ones that believe that there can never be--because they have never experienced it--any communication between...
...PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE (Broadside). Three of the pot religion's high priests (Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and Ralph Metzner) read from "The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead" in droning, sullen voices that might be coming from the far side of the grave.

...journalist and later a raffish London bohemian. Nellie is the most forceful character in the Cotter family, whose life offers a sad insight into the awful milieu of the British working class in the industrial landscape of the Tyneside. A feast for the Cotters is one chicken in the pot, brought to the boil in saltless water and garnished with some dreadful cabbage; the local preoccupations are football pools, the union and the Labor Party, which replaced (but not satisfactorily) the chapel. The family Bible of the Cotter tribe, awash with tea and sympathetic misery, seems to be those...
