| After Leary got arrested in Texas for possession of pot, the notoriety |
| of his research in Millbrook spread. Law enforcement in nearby |
| Poughkeepsie, led by Assistant District Attorney G. Gordon Liddy, raided |
| the estate. In the summer of 1966, Leary and his associates ran a two-week |
| seminar on consciousness expansion, culminating in a theatrical |
| production of Hesse's Steppenwolf legend that weaved its way around the |
| Millbrook grounds and buildings. Leary invited Liddy and members of the |
| grand jury that indicted him, but none showed up. |
| Leary told me about prominent people whose lives had been |
| changed by taking LSD: actor Cary Grant, director Otto Preminger, think- |
| tanker Herman Kahn, Alcoholics Anonymous founder Bill Wilson, TIME |
| magazine publishers Henry and Clare Boothe Luce. Of course, it wasn't so |
| difficult to drop out when you had such a stimulating scene to drop into. |
| On the day that he announced the formation of a new religion, the League |
| for Spiritual Discovery (LSD), I signed up as their first heretic. |
