Timothy Leary, the Madness of the Sixties and Me

"It's going to be a revolution, Charlie. Get with it." Dr. Timothy Leary was talking to the author of this biographical closeup, Dr. Charles W. Slack. It was 1959. Both were teaching psychology at Harvard. It became a revolution , all right, and Leary was its high priest. He planted the seeds of the hippie movement. He promoted the use of marijuana by millions. And he preached his answer to boredom, sex, campus riots, the Vietnam War, you-name-it. His answer: hallucinogenic drugs.
