...Jacques Gottlieb, of Detroit's Lafayette Clinic, told a tale of three laboratories: Lafayette, the Massachusetts' Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology, and the Soviet Academy of Sciences' Institute of Psychiatry. Independently, each had discovered increased amounts of a component of the alpha-2-globulin fraction in the blood of schizophrenia victims. Alpha-2-globulin is a normal part of blood plasma, containing many proteins. In the blood of 60% of the schizophrenics studied by Gottlieb, the fraction was present at far-above-normal levels. The excessive alpha-2-globulin, Gottlieb theorizes, may perforate brain-cell walls...
Damaging Proportions. So far, the function of the substance, even in normal amounts, is unknown. Its level in the bloodstream generally rises under conditions of stress, however, so it is apparently involved in the biochemistry of tension and anxiety. In the schizophrenic patient, Gottlieb points out, tension and anxiety are already "out of control." Thus its level may rise unchecked to mind-damaging proportions. By coincidence, the Worcester Foundation research team working with Dr. John R. Bergen discovered and tested similar blood fractions simultaneously with the Lafayette team. They injected the substance into rats that had been trained to reach...
Automatist surrealism migrated to the U.S. during World War II. It deeply impressed a generation of younger American artists who were shortly to become celebrated innovators themselves, such as Pollock, Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb...

Their closest neighbor: Cartoonist Charles Schulz, whose Peanuts people are hippie favorites. The ranch is owned by Lew Gottlieb, 43, former arranger, composer and bassist for the folk-singing Limelighters, who has his hippie followers hard at work-rarest of all hippie trips-growing vegetables for the San Francisco Diggers...
