...Modern science has confirmed this, with electroencephalograms showing that after a few days in solitary, prisoners' brain waves shift toward a pattern characteristic of stupor and delirium. When sensory deprivation is added--as when Padilla was seen being led from his cell wearing a blindfold and sound-deadening earphones--the breakdown is even worse. As long ago as 1952, studies at Montreal's McGill University showed that when researchers eliminate sight, sound and, with the use of padded gloves, tactile stimulation, subjects can descend into a hallucinatory state in as little as 48 hours...
...fuzzy one, since in so many religions--from ancient Dionysian worship to modern-day Brazilian Candomble and storefront Pentecostalism--the best way to contact the deity or deities is to get up and dance and sing and shout. The climax of the ritual celebration was not a drunken stupor but ecstatic union with the gods...

When I ask my villa neighbors, Giuseppina Orlanduccio and Agustin Vazquez, both 22, what they like about Baros, Vazquez leans back on his outdoor...
...first paper that she suggested everyone e-mail their grades to an impartial third party, who would then relay the grade distribution to the group. English Prof. Gordon Teskey was spotted walking arm-in-arm with a lady. A punch on a punch trip, in a drunken stupor, had his foot run over by a taxi in NYC on Friday night. He yelled for a minute and fell on the sidewalk, but survived—at least until the third event. A young lady in Ec 1010a fainted during the midterm. We extend our sympathies. Dean Gross?...
