Something called THC appeared on the black market last summer, but in such short supply that it commanded a price of $8 or more per capsule. The predictable result is that nearly all the "THC" now being consumed, by sniffing or otherwise, is not really THC at all. Instead, it may be talcum powder, an amphetamine ("benny"), LSD or, more likely, a tranquilizer no longer approved for human use but still used to knock out ailing rhinoceroses and elephants in zoos...
...history at Seabury-Western (Episcopal) Seminary in Evanston, Ill., suggests that the moral issues of imperialism and religious elitism, which were raised by Europeans when they began colonizing the rest of the world, also confront modern man as he prepares to colonize space. A modest but perplexing dilemma would result from the discovery of intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe. The question then would be: Should Christians attempt to convert their celestial neighbors? Extraterrestrial evangelism might not be necessary, suggests Dr. Per Massing of the Boston University School of Theology. "If God has revealed himself to people on another planet...

The findings reinforce the belief that the Nixon Administration will have a bit of leeway in which to move against wage-price rises without causing a significant increase in unemployment. But Brimmer...
...agreement came in "letters of intent" from the Japan Iron & Steel Exporters' Association and the six-nation European Coal and Steel Community. In addition, Secretary of State Dean Rusk said that other leading steel producers, presumably Britain and Canada, are expected to hold down their exports. As a result, Rusk added, U.S. steel imports-which soared to 17.5 million tons in 1968-will be limited to 14 million tons this year, 14.7 million in 1970 and 15.4 million...
