...statement of Drs. Farnsworth and Prout on marijuana (I'll leave the LSD part to someone who knows more about that drug) is a mixture of some fact, considerable nonsense, and a great deal more exaggeration and innuendo. It reads like a handout from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (ghostwritten maybe?) and is an inexcusable document for a medical unit that is supposedly well staffed, particularly one that has access to a decent medical library. Some points...
Ostensibly a ghostwritten political promotion for his California gubernatorial aspirations, Reagan mentions nary a word of his political ambitions until the last couple of pages. But he slips in a sentence now and then so we know he's really qualified. Take his long experience as a lifeguard for instance.

Titov revealed, for instance, that his ship was launched by a multistage booster having six liquid-propellant rocket engines with 600,000 kilograms...
While discussing the March 30 Education section, my ninth grade English class was confused by the quotation taken from the ghostwritten principals' speech. Word for word, it follows "An Open Letter to American Students" by Dwight D. Eisenhower, published in the October 1948 Reader's Digest. We had just read and discussed this letter the previous...
