...Never Forget." Especially alarming from the medical viewpoint is the fact that no one knows how much LSD is really in a California capsule, or how pure the drug is. The only legal supply, from Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, goes to selected psychiatrists as a research tool for creating "model" psychoses, and for use in the treatment of certain patients, notably alcoholics. This supply is so rigidly controlled that none, so far as is known, is now reaching a black market. The flood of stuff in California is all bootleg, some imported from Mexico, more of it home-brewed by chemistry majors...

What shoppers primarily come for, however, are the goods, which are tailored to Latin American tastes. Clothing styles owe more to Europe than the U.S. The tool and paint departments, which are mainstays in the U.S., scarcely exist in Latin America, where cheap labor and a middle-class aversion to manual work prevent any do-it-yourself...

Some forecasters use computers to produce a symbolic "model" of particular social or economic structures-including whole industries or nations-and then simulate the interaction of variables. Rand uses the "Delphi" method, in which a wide range of experts...
...purse has been gradually wrested from Congress, which over the years has ceded its once jealously held fiscal powers to the White House. Today, the President does not consider the budget just a report on spending or an accounting of his stewardship, as it once was, but a powerful tool for controlling the whole Government and a potent instrument for manipulating the economy. Lyndon Johnson, who delights in making use of every available lever of power, has used the budget to further his own ends more than any of his predecessors. This-and the fact that the figures are bigger...
