The Washington Star reports that study was started after Pentagon surveys found that 67 per cent of the young recruits in the Army admit to using either pot or hash and that 52 per cent reported they used it while on duty. The Army has long been concerned about the use of hard drugs — such as heroin —by personnel in the field. However, The Star says that Pentagon brass is becoming increasingly

worried about the smoking of marijuana and its extracts because its use seems to be so widespread throughout the service. The Army has reportedly worked with a Texas firm to develop a new test that can quickly determine if a recruit has recently smoked marijuana or hash. What’s more. Army officials have strted employing a surprise drug test called “SUUTCO” to find out what drugs are being used. It involves the moving of sophisticated portable laboratories into Army camps unannounced at night and then testing every person in the camp at daybreak.

In its film division, Disney will also be coming out with a movie for adults, called "The Black Hole.” This sl7 million fiction epic is expected to be the first Disney film ever to carry a PG (Parental Guidance) rating. The scenes of a space station breaking apart are said to be too intense for a Grating. ». What's more, Disney is also putting together another film called “Snow Star.” which is a parody of the studio’s classic “Snow White.” One younger Disney executive, when asked about one Disney film parodying another Disney film, admitted: “Some of the old guard here are very upset.”
