They drew up a supergovernmental agency, called Metro, of 94 separate taxing districts around the lake and built big new sewage-treatment plants. "He won't tell you he was responsible," says a friend, "but Jim put Metro together. He didn't worry about the problems involved in creating another level of government. He just felt it had to be done...
...Iron Butterfly discover a pleasant riff and instinctively they begin to give it the full treatment--toying with it pretentiously for about thirteen minutes, padding it with irrelevant organ solos and guitar solos and the mandatory drum solo (with extensive use of the bass drum yet!). This music is very different from, and inferior to, the concentrated, strictly organized, but striking sound of early black rock and roll of the Chuck Berry-Fats Domino-Little Richard variety--a sound which had its greatest impact among the swaggering, brash young British proletariat.

...addicting drug, the immediate and inevitable question is: Why is it being given to these real (but fictitiously named) drug addicts?

After that, the patients are discharged but required to report to a clinic regularly for at least a year-daily at first, later tapering off to once a week if they stay clean. "Clean" means that their urine samples reveal no heroin on analysis. On these visits, patients are required to drink a full dose of methadone to show that they have been taking it at home and have retained their...
