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. > [Original Message] > From: Paul Stone <pas@xxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 6/22/2006 8:55:49 AM > Subject: [lit-ideas] article about Tim Leary > > There is an interesting story about Timothy Leary in the New Yorker > > http://www.newyorker.com/critics/books/articles/060626crbo_books > > I found the following very funny: > > Alpert was a Harvard assistant professor from a very wealthy family; he > owned a Mercedes, an M.G., a sailboat, and a Cessna (and this was at a time > when most assistant professors at Harvard could barely afford the Cessna). > > > paul > > ########## > Paul Stone > pas@xxxxxxxx > Kingsville, ON, Canada > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, > digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
