...Brewster cover story [June 23] was expressed with unusual candor in 1959 by then University of Chicago Chancellor Lawrence Kimpton, speaking to state university administrators: "To put it in the crassest terms possible-and I know this will offend many of the brotherhood-it is hard to market a product at a fair price when down the street someone is giving it away." The decline of private education is bound to accelerate unless something is done about this...
...Drug Experience. That slack is often the product of the drug experience. Defenders of the hippie subculture liken it to a super-Eucharistic ritual, one that has brought drug users, particularly of LSD ("the mind detergent") and the other synthetic hallucinogens, into epistemological experience and thus changed their lives forever.

Owsley's next product, says the grapevine, will be a super-hallucinogen called FDA in honor of the Food and Drug Administration...
...there was good reason for the careful protection. The papers were an invaluable source of documents and letters relating to the history of Soviet Russia and the men who made the revolution. Many of these documents clearly refuted the pro-Stalinist explanations of Russian history which were the product of what Trotsky called the "Stalin School of Falsification...
