I thought this line was funnier:
"Leary did teach at Harvard, but was not a professor. He began his career
at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Oakland, where he was the director of
clinical research and psychology." I guess he's being humorous but with
facts like this he doesn't have to work too hard at it. Still, as perverse
as this is, the 50's had it right, they do need an analyst, but they
wouldn't need analysts if they had fathers worth anything. Note Leary was
the product of an alcoholic father who abandoned him. Also, the G.I. Bill
was Welfare but it was a part of what made the U.S. the powerhouse it was.
