...last year or so, however, Laird seems to have moderated his views. He is for a negotiated settlement in Viet Nam, knowing that no other course is politically feasible. At his first press conference as Secretary-designate, he expressed the hope that the Viet Nam war would be over within a year. He still favors beefing up the U.S. military machine roughly along the lines advocated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff-converting the Navy to nuclear power, giving the Air Force the advanced manned bomber it has been seeking for years, going ahead with the Army's anti...
After the 1964 Goldwater debacle, Laird recognized the need for change within the Republican Party. He decided -and the party agreed-that the Federal Government should be active in such fields as education and welfare, but only as backstop to states and local communities. A leading backer of the Viet Nam war, he made a calculated switch last year and argued that the Republicans must appear as the party of peace, that Viet Nam was something to hang around Lyndon Johnson's neck.

Before such permission is given, we must be certain that the citizens who will form the basic material of these parties have become mature citizens...
...tests in a square but comfortable laboratory. They rolled their own cigarettes of three kinds: one of low-strength marijuana, one of high-strength and a third of male hemp stalks, which gave off the same odor but contained none of the psychoactive ingredient. The subjects smoked two reefers within a few minutes in each three-hour session, which included both psychological and physiological tests. The study was double-blind?neither the testers nor the smokers knew, until afterward, which were the dummies and which the weak and strong reefers. The subjects smoked the different kinds of cigarettes in random...
