...pleased that you identified the problem not as one of pot per se, but as "the product of a complex and often frustrating society." How unfortunate that the efforts of professors and politicians-whether to legalize or penalize -are too often related to'the symptoms of the problem rather than the problem itself. For are not these young folks but the children and grandchildren of the "hollow men" of whom T. S. Eliot wrote nearly a half-century ago? Turning on, tuning out, getting high or getting stoned only reflect an inner starvation and thirst for a satisfying, fulfilling...
...carted off nearly all the plants and machinery that had survived the heavy Allied bombing. Today East Germany is the world's ninth greatest industrial power. With a population of 17 million and an area roughly the same as Tennessee's, East Germany has a gross national product of $31.7 billion. Cameras from the Pentacon works at Dresden compete with Leicas from West Germany. TV sets from East Berlin are sold in the Federal Republic. Per capita ownership of TV sets is even higher in East Germany (211 per 1,000) than in West Germany...

The human evolutionary course is determined by the microscopic chromosomes that constitute the only true inheritance passed from one generation to the next...
...chicken embryos. Of a total of 4,000 embryos injected, 15% have shown obvious deformities: feet attached directly to the hip, toes fused together, "flipper" legs, malformed spines and missing pelvises.

Concluded Dr. Verrett, "I don't recommend cyclamate for chicks, and I don't recommend it for people." After discussing the results of her work on a television program, she drew an immediate rebuttal from FDA Commissioner Dr. Herbert Ley Jr. "Cyclamates are safe within the present...
...often lacked the skills to run modern industrial corporations or to deal with foreign investors on anything like equal terms. Lately, the government has concluded that Israel's future security depends almost as much on a strong economy as on a tough army. Last year the gross national product increased 13%, to $4 billion, and overall investment shot up 44%. Suddenly, skilled managers were very much in demand to help guide that growth...
