...that characterizes the public statements of most scientists. Leary and Alpert, in their papers and speeches, have been given to making the kind of pronouncement about their work that one associates with quacks. The shoddiness of their work as scientists is the result less of incompetence than of a conscious rejection of scientific ways of looking at things. Leary and Alpert fancy themselves prophets of a psychic revoluton designed to free Western man from the limitations of consciousness as we know it.

Aided by artificial and transplanted organs and a jungle gym of gadgetry, doctors can now stave off death for long periods. The blessings of science...
