Daily Mail stuff clearly written by a bloke not getting enough!

That'd be it. The journalist probably thought it was a documentary.

lol - the end of the book gets to the bit where the down and dirty is discussed - i think the soma was used as a controlling drug on all levels - great book - but ex couldn't really get into it!!
