That scene, like something out of Inner Sanctum, is a newcomer's introduction to Manhattan's latest and most curious experiment in public entertainment-a theater without a stage show, a cabaret without food or liquor, a party without an occasion. To its proprietor, a 25-year-old former talent agent named Ruflfin Cooper, Cerebrum is "an electronic studio of participation." Others have called it a "psychedelic playpen" and a "McLuhan geisha house." However defined-and perhaps it can't be-Cerebrum is an experience...

There was once a time when Morton was mentioned for the presidency, but his obvious ability never seemed to be matched by equal deeds...
