In the early sixties, a new
leader of sorts appeared. His
name was Dr. Timothy Leary and
his work Is doubUess so familiar
to the reader that I shall not
dweU at length on his activities.
His research at Harvard with
DMT, psUocybta, peyote and LSD
resulted to his dismissal, and
that   of his   colleague,   Richard
Alpert. CurrenUy be is appealing
a 30-year Jail sentence and a
$30,000 fine for smuggling mari¬
juana into toe United States.
Leary has done more than any
other single person to spread toe
word on LSD. His message Is one
of 'toner-space* and the glories
to be found within the mind. Li¬

Evelyn Wood first observed Dynamic
Reading 18 years ago when a professor
at the University of Utah read her term
paper at an amazing 6.000 words per
minute. Mrs. Wood's curiosity caused her
to look for-other exceptional readers,
and over the next few years, she found
50 people who could read faster than

these people took the course with the
guarantee that their reading efficiency
would at least triple in the short span
of eight weeks. In virtually every case,
when the student attended class sessions
and did the required practice, this excit¬
ing promise came true^iteading Dynam¬
ics makes you the same astonishing guar¬
antee: We guarantee to increase your
reading efficiency at least 3 times. We
will refund the entire tuition to any
student who. after completing minimum
class and study requirements, does not
at least triple his reading efficiency as
measured by our beginning and ending
tests. Reading efficiency combines rate
and comprehension, not speed alone.
Compared to the national average of 325
words a minute, most Reading Dynamics
graduates from the Bay Area read nearly
3,000 words per minute. Many people
who read Dynamically have developed
t even higher n
have any particular
average reader starting the course. You
will be taught to read not just with your
become pictures, and pages will roll by
like frames on film. Your eyes will learn
to move in rhythmic patterns down the
page and through the volume; and you
will read with thorough comprehension
in a fraction of the time it takes you now.
As a child you were taught to "hear" the
Words as you read them. You will be un¬
taught that cumbersome technique and
discover that you can read swiftly and
meaningfully by circumventing your old
audio reading patterns. Once this eye-
to-mind communicalion has been estab¬
lished, you practically eliminate the ne¬
cessity of saying, hearing or re-thinking
words. You will no longer read word-by¬
word or even phrase-by-phrase; indeed,
as you develop your skill, neither will
you read sentencc-by-sentence. Instead,
you will read in "chunks." You will visu¬
ally lift large blocks of material from the
printed page and instantaneously project
actions and pictures onto the screen of
your imagination. As the course devel¬
ops your Reading Dynamics skills, you
will discover the exhilaration of experi¬
encing the vitality of the printed page.
Reading will become leu and less like
reading, as it becomes more and more a
process of experiencing.
As you read, your hand will function as
a pacer, swiftly brushing across printed
material as the words well into pictures
in continuous, dramatic flow. You will
be gratified at your increased speed; you
will be moved by your newly developed
sensitivity to literary values; and you
will be thrilled at the high degree of re¬
tention of the printed material after it
has been read. Many Reading Dynamics
graduates find that their ability to recall
even highly technical material long after
it has been read is the single most valu¬
able aspect of their new skill.
The Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics
teaching staff in the Northern California
area is highly experienced. Naturally,
all instructors are college graduates.
Many hold MA's and some are prepar¬
ing for their Ph.D's. Their instruction
never includes the use of machines or
electronic eye movement devices used
frequently in skim-reading courses. Me¬
chanical devices tend to make students
dependent upon machines as a reading
crutch. Moreover, Reading Dynamics
does not teach skimming. It teaches im¬
proved reading efficiency which includes
both speed and comprehension. Skim¬
ming techniques negate improved com¬
prehension and are therefore unaccept¬
able in the Evelyn Wood method.
As Mn. Wood frequently points out,
"You read five times faster not by read¬
ing every fifth word, but by reading five
limes as many words in the same amount
of time. It is impossible to tell which
words to skip or disregard until you have
seen them all and determined their revi¬
sions are time and knowledge, isn't this
a wonderful gift to give yourself? The
rare and exciting gift of self-improve¬
ment, it can be yours in EIGHT SHORT
WEEKS. The 32 second challenge is
O.K. So you failed.
Here's what
to do about it.
A provocative demonstration of Reading
Dynamics will be presented in the next
few days. At the demonstration you will

terviews with U. S. Senators who have
token the course. You will see a Reading
Dynamics graduate read at amazing
speeds from a book he has never seen

You should be reassured that the Evelyn
Wood Reading Dynamics course is the
definitive rapid reading method in the
world today.
The Dynamic Reader, having finished this
newspaper, Is off doing something else.
In this supersonic, electronic, automated
age, it is comforting to know that man
has discovered a way to improve not just
things and machines but man himself.
