...the troubled, intensely alive world of today's college generation. A world of vitality, of color, of the search for new sensations, of commitment-and of danger. In Happening At San Remo, it is brilliantly, sometimes shockingly, portrayed, in a tense, action-filled story of youthful revolt, casual matings, perilous experiments, orgiastic "rituals"-and, at the shattering climax, an encounter with implacable evil

From the top-secret files of the counter-narcotics secret service. From personal accounts of those who wage the nonstop cloak and dagger fight against the "ring". Charles Wighton has uncovered the story of the crime which uses all the weapons in the underworld to keep its secrets. Murders, bribery, corruption in high places - the powerful dope ring uses no half-measures. "Sami" el Khoury of Beirut; Luciano, the ageing boss of teh Italian Mafia; "Gino" Messina with his London tie-up; Mondoloni, the Corsican chieftain who held up and robbed the Begum Aga Khan; and the multi-millionaire Vito Genovese, "President of the American Crime Corporation", imprisoned for 15 years for dope trafficking. All these men are the "Merchants of Death" and their network extends over the whole world. Only one question still remains...the key question..."Who is the Boss?" Is he in America, the Middle East, France, Switzerland or...England?

DESCENT INTO PARADISE

You're Valerie Jordan and you've just had your first puff of a reefer. You're not scared. Why should you be? Nobody can kid you, because you know marijuana is not habit-forming. So what's the big deal if a girl wants a kick?

But there comes a day when a kick is not enough. You're feeling down, like you were underground and you know you've got to have a jolt, a blast-heroin!

The next step? A bigger jolt, a louder blast-to the tune of thirty dollars a day-and that's a lot of bread.

It means picking up men-half a dozen a day-what does it matter? You're in paradise. Until the blast wears off and you've got to face reality again: you're hooked, chained, a teen-age dope addict.
