The dangers of driving on LSD

   One of the great debates of our era is why crime has declined as much as it has since the 1970s. Among the factors, I believe, was the naivete people had towards drugs. In fact cocaine and LSD were seen as very positive things, advocated by our rock idols along with bisexuality and bellbottoms.
   Anyway, on May 14, 1973 Daniel Guerin, 27, of Lasalle (that is him in the souped up photo) took a hit of acid and robbed a restaurant with friends (they got $7 each in the haul) and then took a friends stolen car and drove down highway 20 westbound at speeds of 105 mph, ramming the car belonging to Peter Covo, 54, and killing him. Guerin told a coroners inquest that, "All I can remember is seeing red fire balls shooting through my head."
