...superimposed patterns of color, Rooks and Frank are more concerned with the relationship between drugged and normal perception. Harwick, on Peyote, says, "I saw a yellow circle of light . . ." and Rooks cuts to a grey sky with an optically created circle of light in the middle of the frame. Through focus changes, we see at the very end of the shot that the circle of light is, in fact, a sunset. Through camerawork, then, we discern both the object and the drugged interpretation of the object, giving us a rare understanding of the experience Rooks illustrates...

Only a few of the original shots remain, indicated by a black strip of masking on screen right-or-left revealing that the 16mm frame was blown up double to 32 mm, still not quite filling the 35mm frame...

Mr. DeGuglielmo was conspicuously unimpressed by the suggestion that...
...shuddering gyrations that ripped off the X-15's wings and tail assembly, leaving Adams with no control and whirling him into senselessness within seconds. The forces may have gone higher than ten times the force of gravity, transforming Adams' 5-ft. 11-in. and 180-lb. frame into a mass weighing almost...
