Leary
would go on to become one of the most revered and reviled symbols of the
1960’s. Huston Smith would
enthusiastically join Leary’s psychedelic crusade, only to go his own way when
the party got a little wild for an ordained, and happily married, Methodist
minister. Richard Alpert, as Ram Dass,
would continue to struggle with a voracious omnisexual appetite. Andy Weil would play hard-ball in his
campaign to get Alpert and Leary kicked out of Harvard, only to replace them in
the 1970’s as the new ringmaster of the drug culture.
