The bear was eventually tranquillized and taken to the nearest suitable forest habitat, said Tim Daly, a Fish and Wildlife spokesman.

He wondered whether lithium could have the same tranquillizing effect on his patients.

He killed the time reading Will James and the poems his grandmother had clipped from the livestock papers and collected in a shoebox, tranquillized by a stiff cocktail of existential despair.

The physical restraints were then often replaced by chemical ones, and residents were tranquillized with powerful antipsychotics such as Haldol.

A decade later: “These are the tranquillized Fifties, / and I am forty.”
