The two-martini lunch and the cocktail party have become potent symbols of frantic, achievement-oriented Western culture; for the young drug taker, the belligerent or sloppy drunk personifies the older generation's "hypocrisy" and lack of control. The darker side of pop drugs is the fact that some users have serious emotional problems. Dr. Phyllis Kempner, a clinical psychologist who works with drug abusers of many kinds in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, says that many of the kids who are most deeply into mind-changing chemicals "have been troubled long...

The Canadian ship can also do a heel-and-toe roll, which the tanker-three times its size -cannot. This was the Macdonald's twelfth excursion into the Arctic, and it has never been stuck. Each time ice closed in around the Manhattan, the Macdonald cleared a channel beside the tanker, leaving the Manhattan room to maneuver into the clear...
