...drugs and substitute highs with penalty of expulsion in the fall of 1966. It followed an incident in which two students who had eaten some of Dr. Schlein's Asmador Powder were, as one student who heard them, said, "Watching TV on the wall and seeing snakes on the shower floor." A friend brought them over to the infirmary to a doctor on the condiiton that the administration not be told.

The staff responded to the challenge...
...improbable quest through Prague for morphine to ease his clandestine patient's pain, Dr. Braun seeks out his sister, who has been reduced to the level of working as a cleaning woman in a Nazi-run brothel. He first blunders into the girls' shower room-giving Brynych an excuse for a breathtaking study of the splash and spray of water on naked female forms. Later, the camera encounters a nightmare revel of swinish soldiers among whom the girls are herded like cattle before being returned to their stalls. In a corner, Braun comes upon the body, ignored...
