...Bottle of Bliss. "Is the LSD state a model of madness, a touch of schizophrenia, or is it a short cut to Zen satori, nirvana for the millions?" asks Dr. Cohen.

Unhappily there is just one thing she can do for her country, for colonial freedom, for Zen enlightenment, for Freud, for minorities, and this she certainly does. For example, she takes the most improbable of her lovers, a cretin with a "radish-white" humped back, because he is so loathsome that he constitutes a superminority...
