Strawberry Ice Cream. There is such a thing as too much pot, and such a thing as getting "stoned" on it. Stoned on alcohol, the ordinary social drunk can become maudlin, irrational, incoherent and perhaps physically ill. A smoker who has had too much pot, says the San Franciscan, tends to become "quite anxious, overly self-conscious and very ill at ease. These are usually intensely personal discomforts that are hard to articulate, but they are usually short-lived-say, two hours long at the most.

...gown with a V neck cut extraordinarily low, wide and handsome. Vogue readers have already been treated to a full-page photo of Young Model Penelope Tree wearing Yves St. Laurent's sheer organza see-through blouse with nothing underneath it.

...Poor Thing." Nordhoff accomplished his miracle at Volkswagen mainly by his love and knowledge of his business and an endless capacity for work. On a seven-day week, with only a few hours off for sleep, he started with 7,000 workers, and, after weeks spent clearing the rubble, began turning out the prototype bug designed before the war by Ferdinand Porsche. The product, he knew, was "a poor thing, cheap, ugly and inefficient." Its engine would expire after 10,000 miles, its brakes and springing were atrocious...
