Can anyone remember a book of shortstories, at least 20 years old,
containing "The Lady Who Sailed the Soul"?  About a man who sailed a space
ship powered by solar power, and aged 40 years in the transit.  The
shipped carried people in suspended animation to a new planet light years
away.  So, the guy who ran the ship aged 40 years while his passengers
did not.  Anyway, he met this woman who fell in love with him, so
she sailed on  of these shipped back to the original destination so that
they would be the same age, and this would overcome his scruples toward
their relationship.  That's a pretty lousy explanation of a wonderfully
romantic story, but I hope it sounds familiar?

The lead story and the book title were the same and had something to do
with drug expanded consiousness -- MindBender? MindBreaker? Something like
that.  Any clues?  THANKS!!!!

I can't help you on the collection/anthology you requested, but can
give you some other pointers to "The Lady who Sailed THE SOUL",
if you were looking for the story rather than the book.

It was written by Cordwainer Smith (in real life: Paul Myfron Anthony
Linebarger), and is my all-time favorite in the 'romance' SF class.
Much of Smith's stuff is worth reading.  He created a "future history of
mankind" that has some really interesting twists.

"The Lady.." has appeared in:

"Galaxy:  Thirty Years of Innovative Science Fiction"
edited by Frederik Pohl, Mat\rtin H. Greenberg, and Joseph D. Olander
Playboy Press, date unknown

"The Best of Cordwainer Smith"
edited by J. J. Pierce
Nelson Doubleday, Inc.  1975

I didn't remember that "Lady" was in the anthology but I recognized
your description as being "Mind Partner" by Christopher Anvil from the
book MIND PARTNER AND 8 OTHER NOVELETS FROM GALAXY ed. by H. L. Gold.
I have always been fond of "Mind Partner" as being one of the best
drug-related stories.  "Lady" follows it directly in the book.
