...have been reduced to tributaries whose source is the White House. This centralization began early and drew the first critical fire. When, in January 1961, Kennedy edited a speech by the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Arleigh Burke, and directed all other military brass to submit to the same treatment, the press emitted loud cries of censorship. But though the Kennedy edict certainly frustrated loose talk from the Pentagon, its effect has not been altogether negative.

But, when we ask subjects to describe their own reaction or when we count the objective behavioral events there is no reason to believe that consciousness-expanding drug experiences are any more dangerous than psychoanalysis or a four year enrollment in Harvard College...
...source gave two instances of this disregard for scientific procedure yesterday the fact that experimental subjects were not selected art random, and may even have included persons who had undergone psychiatric treatment; and the fact that group sessions or house 'psilocybin parties' were held in which even the group leader took the drug, thereby preventing objective observation of its effects...
