...psychosis. One psychiatrist suggests the possibility of producing and studying "model psychoses" with LSD. Hopeful research with neurotics indicates that cures result both from the disorienting experience of the drug and increased susceptibility to suggestion from the therapist. On the negative side, certain subjects, especially in unsympathetic surroundings, experience terror and suicidal urges under LSD. Psychotic symptoms have also increased in some subjects...
...full of shots of Roosevelt in his most informal hours-that is, with his jacket off, perhaps, but never his tie. But when the moment arrives to say that F.D.R. suffered his attack of polio there, lightning flashes in the sky, grey horses standing in the pasture neigh with terror, and ominously choppy waters are shown in whipping rain. The narrator tells how Roosevelt, on the day he fell sick, became overheated fighting a brush fire, and the producers stage a brush fire to illustrate. F.D.R. later cooled off by taking a deeply chilling swim in the Bay of Fundy...
...Nazis, Beckmann began painting triptychs, turning his medieval altarpiece form into a public billboard. His first, Departure, peopled by dismembered captives, masked lords and indifferent servants, was done during the first year of Hitler's rule.

His army rebelled less than a week after he took office; his Belgian civil servants fled in terror; vital provinces tried to secede; and the land, neither administered nor policed, reverted to darkness. Howling all the while about white imperialism, Patrice Lumumba himself did not hesitate to sell the exploitation rights to the Congo's vast resources to a fast-talking American promoter...
...white hostages still held by the savage rebel fighters known as Simbas (lions). By week's end they had rescued 600 whites-Belgian nuns and priests, Greek shopkeepers and restaurateurs, British and American missionaries. From nearly every man, woman and child saved came another numbing tale of terror, torture or death. Each could recall his own particular nuit infernale, but the most hellish of nights was that recounted by the 76 whites held captive by the rebels in the eastern Congo tin-mining town of Bunia...
