In many ways it is all surreal, then and today. The truth is difficult to reckon with for a lot of folks.
Excellent interview at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U9z-64FmV0
Regarding LSD, recall Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, how Tom Wolfe held them at arm's length, of course he wouldn't take the drug--it would tarnish his vaunted objectivity, yet the impression was left that there was nothing substantial here, all sweetness and light, no darkside potential.
Marks' Search for the Manchurian Candidate presents a CIA pooh-poohing that much was accomplished, and of course we were assured by Gottlieb it was closed in 1973, parking lot emptied.
Papers written in 1949 suggesting use of LSD to sanitize an area in a nonviolent fashion for subsequent invasion?
1949 was the year James Forrestal emulated that Frenchman's "I am an airplane" act.
Has President Obama been assured by DCI Panetta that there's no gambling in his establishment?
Many thanks are owed to you, Mr. Albarelli, for following up on actions of an agency which have been subject to plausible denial by statute, as well as by no discernible moral compass, not needed in a wilderness of mirrors.
