Ironically, the one source of LSD that could be shut off instantly was the strictly controlled and limited supply that the only legal manufacturer, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, has been doling out to a small number of carefully investigated medical researchers. There have been no recent reports that any Sandoz LSD was getting into a black market, but fearing public reaction to the very fact that it was manufacturing the drug, Sandoz stopped all deliveries...
Died. Mari Susette Sandoz, 68, folklorist of the U.S. Great Plains; of cancer; in Manhattan. Though she lived and wrote in Greenwich Village for the past 20 years, Mari Sandoz knew much of the Plains firsthand, as a Nebraska sod-buster's daughter in the 1900s who had "seen the settler-cattlemen fights" and been wounded twice herself. In later years, she was forever "tearing around on horseback and climbing the Pecos," digging behind legends of Indian wars, gamblers and lawmen for the tales she wove into a score of chronicles (Old Jules, Slogum House) whose gritty realism never...
...Never Forget." Especially alarming from the medical viewpoint is the fact that no one knows how much LSD is really in a California capsule, or how pure the drug is. The only legal supply, from Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, goes to selected psychiatrists as a research tool for creating "model" psychoses, and for use in the treatment of certain patients, notably alcoholics. This supply is so rigidly controlled that none, so far as is known, is now reaching a black market. The flood of stuff in California is all bootleg, some imported from Mexico, more of it home-brewed by chemistry majors...
Cheyenne Autumn has everything it takes to make a great western epic, except greatness. In her book based on a bleak episode of American history, Mari Sandoz re-created the ordeal of 286 Cheyenne Indians, stung by the indignities of exile on a reservation, who in 1878 fought and starved and struggled through a 1,500-mile journey from Oklahoma's Indian Territory to their homeland in eastern Montana. En route, with U.S. Army units ever at their heels, they were bedeviled by bad weather, bitter dissension, and the white man's cruelty. In this wayward...
...were using the drug for kicks. In Los Angeles, beatniks and assorted addicts lapped the stuff up, buying (for $1 apiece) lumps of sugar in which a drop of the potent raw material had been absorbed. Leary and Alpert, in their Harvard days, got a supply of psilocybin from Sandoz. Then, under last October's amendments to the Food and Drug Act, came stricter control. Sandoz, in an earnest effort to keep the drugs out of unlawful channels, promptly cut down its clientele to animal experimenters and scientists who are getting federal or state grants for research with human...
