...have provided the first objective article on marijuana [April 19] that I have seen in a national magazine. Pot is becoming a social phenomenon, but the lives of many are being ruined by the felony convictions incurred by the carrying or use of even one gram of pot. Additional research on pot is desperately needed. Legalization, or liberalization of the existing pot laws seems long overdue. What is required is less emotionalism and more objectivity, and quickly...
...safe or harmful will require study of thousands of habitual users over long periods of time to achieve statistical validity. Proof of deterioration of the health of cigarette smokers was established in this way. The evidence is strong for physiological, mental and social deterioration associated with prolonged use of marijuana. The argument that marijuana may be safe because there is a 10,000-fold range from the least effective dose to lethal levels, ignores the fact that accumulation of small injuries to mind and body, rather than sudden death, is the issue...
...Perhaps it would be wiser to keep that "rib" caged until it develops a bit of theological substance. The ambiguity evident in the case of Professor Daly's book lies in the theologically vague use of the term church: "The church continues to treat women as second-class human beings." Who is really at fault here? In modern times, the church has been variously defined as Christ and His Body or, in more general terms, as mankind (which includes womankind) itself. Thus the villain is no longer just the hierarchy or the clergy as generally implied in such sterile...
...anticipated 50,000 demonstrators. Last week hammers rang and saws brayed as volunteers built the first of 200 triangular-shaped shelters, costing $10 per inhabitant, which will be moved to the camp-in site-as soon as one can be agreed upon. Congressional pressure against allowing the marchers to use federal land is mounting. Interior Secretary Stewart Udall has been cool to the use of the Capitol Mall, where crowds gathered to hear King deliver his ringing "I have a dream" speech in 1963. A likely compromise may be West Potomac Park near the Lincoln Memorial, a magnet for tourists...
...again, they will find the allies far better prepared for Round 2 than they were for Round 1. From the A Shau valley in the north to the environs of Saigon, allied units are aggressively trying to break up Communist formations before they can be fully assembled for offensive use. The South Vietnamese army has invaded the A Shau valley, an almost untouchable redoubt of Communist troops since they overran a U.S. Special Forces base there in 1966. Other allied units are positioned for "mobile defense" to come to the aid of any city or cities that the enemy tries...
