...been sprayed. To save the marijuana, peasants began to rush out and harvest the plants minutes after the helicopters were gone; they put their plants in bags to shield them from the sun. Even though they had been sprayed, the leaves of plants so shielded did not yellow. The plants appeared normal, so the peasants could sell them as if they were uncontaminated. The result: contaminated marijuana was mixed into the approximately 3,000 tons of Mexican pot smuggled annually into...
...week just before Passover, timed to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In Skokie, Ill., 7,000 who survived Auschwitz, Belsen and Treblinka awaited the promised march by American Nazis clothed in brown shirts and the First Amendment. Some Christian churches around the U.S. distributed yellow Stars of David for members to wear on their breasts; the gesture, sweet enough perhaps, smacked of moral self-congratulation.

Since it featured cartoons of the Beatles--and a ridiculous plot regarding the salvation of "Pepperland" by the Fab Four, loosely constructed from their songs--the film was a big hit. Ten years later it's difficult to see why. The animation is quite good, the colors are splendid, but only a rock-ribbed Beatlemaniac could love this movie. Druggies beware, though. Our sources claim that this is a great movie to trip, snort, smoke, shoot...
