Jonathan Arnett, BA, MATC A Dissertation In TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION & RHETORIC Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. Amy Koerber, Chair Dr. Ken Baake Dr. Fred Kemp Dr. Susan Lang Fred Hartmeister Dean of the Graduate School August, 2008 Copyright 2008, E. Jonathan Arnett Texas Tech University, E. Jonathan Arnett, August 2008 Acknowledgments As a writer, I’m the type who works best in magnificent solitude, and most of this dissertation was completed that way, with me slumped in a chair, brow furrowed, as I either stared a computer screen or shuffled through well-thumbed stacks of photocopies. Even so, this dissertation is anything but a solo effort; it would not have been possible to complete this project without the companionship and assistance of a number of remarkable individuals whom I wish to thank for their friendship, support, critical commentary, and for generally putting up with me. Thanks to my dissertation director, Dr. Amy Koerber. Your suggestions and commentary were always prompt and well-considered, and your assistance was invaluable in guiding me through the writing process. I couldn’t have asked for a better committee chair. Thanks to my committee members, Drs. Ken Baake, Fred Kemp, and Susan Lang. Your encouragement throughout my time at Texas Tech has been an inspiration. I can only hope to be as helpful to my students as you have been to me. Thanks to my parents, Carol and Curtis Arnett. You’ve been tremendously encouraging and supportive. Your letters from home helped more than you will ever know. Thanks to the Herd, particularly Rajiv: Thank you for keeping my lap warm on chilly winter nights. You left fur everywhere, but that’s a small price for adoring looks, purring, ankle-vulturing, and flexing toes, and I’m more than happy to pay. Thanks to my friends, both here in Lubbock and in other parts of the world: Jen Ross, Ana Krahmer, Susan and Ed Youngblood, the staff at the Aquatics Center, the Old Skool Penns, Chad Covey, Nate and JoAnn McKimpson, the crew at the Nerd Board, Joe Howe, William and Yingqin Carney, Fawn Musick, and Lonie McMichael. Special thanks go to Derek Ross, who’s always up for a friendly argument about music and/or a well-thought- out academic question. And most of all, many many thank yous to Laura Palmer, who made the whole enterprise possible and bearable. ii Texas Tech University, E.

Jonathan Arnett, August 2008 Abstract This dissertation contains a analysis of 11 publications that appeared in scientific journals in the year 1967 and dealt with the potential for LSD to cause chromosome damage and/or birth defects. These publications were analyzed using the ideal speech communication situation, a theory developed by the German social philosopher, Jürgen Habermas. Within these texts, the existence and influence of distorted communication, as defined by Habermas, indicates when and where open, free communication broke down and influenced the course of scientific discussion. This dissertation’s analysis of the articles from 1967 shows that the publications contained communicative distortion, and the communicative distortion provides more than enough reason to doubt both the scientific validity of the reported LSD-chromosome damage and LSD-birth defects links and the reasoning behind the scientific consensus emerging at the end of 1967 that LSD did cause chromosome damage and birth defects. In terms of technical communication scholarship, this dissertation’s analysis demonstrates that Habermas’s theory of the ideal speech communication situation can be used as an analytical tool for rhetoric of science studies and contribute to the further development of the field. vi Texas Tech University, E. Jonathan Arnett, August 2008 Chapter 1: Introduction In 1967, an article titled “Chromosomal Damage in Human Leukocytes Induced by Lysergic Acid Diethylamide” (Cohen, Marinello, & Back, 1967) appeared in the journal Science. Its authors reported an in vitro study in which they determined LSD caused breakages in human leukocyte (white blood cell) chromosomes at twice the rate of cells that had not been exposed to LSD. Shortly thereafter, a similar study, “Chromosomal Abnormalities in Leukocytes from LSD-25 Users” (Irwin & Egozcue, 1967) appeared, in which the authors reported chromosome breakage in the leukocytes of LSD users. Later in 1967, studies appeared that reported birth defects in rodents resulting from exposure to LSD. News of these studies’ results entered the public consciousness through newspaper and magazine stories, and the news “created a sensation among LSD ‘users’” (Kato & Jarvik, 1969, p. 42). Articles trumpeting the news that LSD could cause chromosome damage and birth defects appeared in national magazines, • Saturday Evening Post, “The hidden evils of LSD”(Davidson, 1967); • McCall’s, “LSD: Danger to unborn babies” (Brecher, 1967); nationally prominent newspapers, • The New York Times o “LSD peril found in tests on rats” (Brody, 1967); o “Hallucinogenic drugs: I; Congenital defects to offspring added to peril to the mind and personality” (Rusk, 1967); • The Los Angeles Times o “Doctors caution users of drugs” (Alvarez, 1967); o “Harmful LSD, alcohol” (Dickerson,

    The Open Forensic Science Journal, 2011, 4, 20-24 20 Open Access A Historical Review of MDMA Steven B. Karch* Berkeley, California 94705, USA Abstract: In less than 50 years the number of MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine or Ecstasy) users in the United States has gone from zero to nearly three million. For all of its popularity, very little is known about MDMA’s probable mechanism of action, or the mechanisms by which it causes death and disability. Even less is known about this drug’s checkered past, including dangerous plans by various government agencies to “weaponize” MDMA, and misleading research sponsored and propagated by the U.S. government. Recently, evidence has begun to emerge that MDMA may cause valvular heart disease and possibly myocardial disease as well. These issues have not yet appeared on the media radar. For that reason, an historical review of this fascinating drug was undertaken here. Keywords: Ecstacy, Shulgin, history, MK-Ultra, psychoactive, serotonin, empathogen, myocardial fibrosis, neurotoxicity. MDA, Club drugs, Raves. INTRODUCTION as a precursor compound, and never even evaluated MDMA’s basic physiologic properties until years after the Estimates of the United Nations suggest that in North patent for MDMA was actually awarded.

  • Update of the Generic Definition for Tryptamines
    ACMD Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs Chair: Professor Les Iversen Secretary: Zahi Sulaiman 2nd Floor (NW), Seacole Building 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF Tel: 020 7035 1121 [email protected] Norman Baker MP, Minister for Crime Prevention Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 10 June 2014 Dear Minister, In December 2013, you commissioned the ACMD to begin a regular review of generic definitions under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, with the aim of capturing emerging new psychoactive substances. These drugs are variants of controlled drugs and fall outside the existing scope of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The ACMD has considered evidence available on tryptamines in the context of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and I enclose the Advisory Council’s advice and an expanded definition for tryptamine compounds with this letter. The ACMD’s NPS Committee has firstly reviewed previous research and existing controls to identify those tryptamines now seen to evade the existing controls. The ACMD has also reviewed data provided by the Home Office’s early warning systems and networks, clinical toxicology, prevalence and neuropharmacology in arriving at the expanded generic definition. This expanded generic definition will bring drugs such as alpha-methyltryptamine (AMT) as well as 5-MeO-DALT within the scope of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. These are highly potent hallucinogens which act on the 5HT2A receptor, in the same way as LSD. The ACMD therefore recommends that the tryptamines covered by the proposed expanded generic definition in this report, are controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) as Class A substances.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

Here’s one he made in San Francisco in 1965, just a couple years afer the fellows at Harvard College dismissed him as a lecturer in clinical psychology:1 “I predict that within one generation we will have across the bay in Berkeley a Department of Psychedelic Studies. Tere will probably be a dean of LSD.» Two generations later, the University of California at Berkeley has yet to establish its Department of Psychedelic Studies. But, as is ofen the case with Timothy Leary, the high priest was half right in his prediction that mainstream academia would someday rediscover the value of psychedelic research. Harvard does not have a dean of LSD, but it now has something called “Te LSD Library.” Tat would be the Ludlow-Santo Domingo Library, an intoxicating collection housed at Harvard Library that includes many items from the Timothy Leary archive.
