Granted, said Dr. Cohen, specimens from healthy people will show 4% to 5% of cells with a notched or other wise damaged chromosome. But in LSD users, the rate soars to 19%, and-at least in the test tube-still higher with some other drugs. Granted also, said the panelists, that they have seen no proven case of a birth deformity in an LSD user's child, but they are investigating several suspected cases...
There are no ways to provide the means in Vietnam for rapid and efficient access to printed materials in the national language. Not only are university libraries small and texts scarce but book collections that do exist require fluency in a foreign language on the part of the user. The 20,000 volume central library at Hue, assembled with great difficulty, is more than 50 in French, Chinese and English. Moreover students without fluency in a foreign language are restricted in their programs by the fact that several courses taught by foreign professors are given in the native language...

Others are turning on to the milder pre-LSD hallucinogens: cactus-derived mescaline, the American Indian's peyote (it takes many bitter peyote cactus buds...
...Enfants Terribles), his baroque plays (The Infernal Machine, The Human Voice) and, above all, his otherworldly films (The Blood of a Poet, The Eternal Return, Beauty and the Beast, Orpheus, Les Enfants Terribles). He was also given to scandalous public poses as an overt homosexual and self-confessed drug user. But unlike Oscar Wilde, who tripped and fell into the gutter of Victorian reality while trying to walk his mystic way, Cocteau, for all of his histrionics and acrobatics, always managed to regain a safe perch. He was somehow able to have his cakewalking, eat his opium, and yet wind...
