...Employee E. Howard Hunt, with bogus identification papers, a wig, a speech-alteration device, and a camera in a tobacco pouch. In addition, the agency provided the White House with a psychological profile of Daniel Ellsberg...
Actually, the U.S. has relatively limited economic clout against the oil-producing nations, as Ford well knows. The oil countries depend on the U.S. for wheat, corn and tobacco generally, but they could get these from alternate sources. They do buy American petroleum-industry equipment, but for the U.S. to embargo such exports would be self-defeating. If the U.S. held back on sales of armaments or commercial aircraft, two major export items, the Arabs could easily find substitutes elsewhere, albeit of lower quality in many cases.

Aronow and John Cassidy tested ten such volunteers with a marijuana cigarette and a nonmarijuana cigarette. Before smoking, the men exercised on a bicycle long enough for angina to develop. Then they...
...term "100 proof was originally known as "gunpowder proof because the British found that whisky with about 50% alcohol, when mixed with gunpowder, would burn with a steady blue flame. Moonshining is not a thing of the past, either. As late as 1972, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms destroyed more than 2,000 illicit stills, and admits it barely scratched the surface of the trade...
