Instead of using a psychedelic setting in a dimly lit pad, the researchers ran their tests in a square but comfortable laboratory. They rolled their own cigarettes of three kinds: one of low-strength marijuana, one of high-strength and a third of male hemp stalks, which gave off the same odor but contained none of the psychoactive ingredient. The subjects smoked two reefers within a few minutes in each three-hour session, which included both psychological and physiological tests. The study was double-blind?neither the testers nor the smokers knew, until afterward, which were the dummies and which...
...Countries in the 1600s, in spite of wars with Spain and brutal religious repression, saw the flowering of one incomparable painter after another-Vermeer and Rembrandt in Holland, Rubens and Van Dyck in Flanders. As a result, Jordaens passed into history as something of an also-ran.

He finally joined CBS in the early days of broadcast TV. "We did everything-put on the show, ran transmitters, jumped in front of the cameras," he says. "We had no audience-there were only a handful of TV sets in the country-but we had to keep on the air to hold our license." Goldmark still maintains a workshop in his Stamford, Conn., home, in which he repairs...
...commercial photographer from Baton Rouge, La., ran into financial difficulties while setting up his business in 1957 and had to defer payment on various accounts. He has since become successful enough to buy-on credit-an airplane for his business, and Dun & Bradstreet rates his borrowing capacity at about $35,000. But three months ago his wife was unable to charge two cans of paint for the family swimming pool because of the eleven-year-old local credit-bureau report...
