Timothy Leary Speaks from Beyond the Grave

|

Jeff Riggenbach has written an interesting article about Timothy Leary and Thomas Szasz for mises.org. Since the article quotes from Riggenbach's Reason interview with Leary, and since that interview is a pretty fascinating conversation, I've posted a pdf of the Q&A here. Among the topics covered: prison life, space colonization, and whether it's true that "Squeaky Fromme stands in a Sacramento courtroom…for believing exactly what Dylan told her in the Sixties." The article appeard in the April 1977 issue of the magazine.

Bonus links: My review of a recent Leary biography. Nick Gillespie's review of the same book. And a Leary profile that Brian Doherty did back in the '90s.
