person was just a number. At this point he spoke so rapidly that I
did not see any great content in what he was saying and I became dis-
interested in what he was saying, however, what stuck with me the
most, when he was "chattering" or "speeling" was that he was apparent-
ly emotionally detached from the subject matter itself. In other
words, he did not give me the impression as one experiencing any deep,
abiding, personal convictions. I recal-l vividly that I had the
distinct impression that he was no intellectual carried away with his
personal conviction but rather a pseudo-intellectual who lacked and
who was devoid of the capacity for true intellectualism. The point
I am trying to convey is that when he related the content of the book,
and, therefore, his reason for the inquiry as to the use of the drug,
he was demonstrating a super-imposed indoctrination in which he had
no great self-identification. He was spouting words, phrases, and
cliches, without true comprehension, and without personal pursuasiveness,
as you might expect of someone who was a dedicated advocate of a cause.
It sticks in my mind that he was a person possessed of a very limited

of this man at the timejrather than the product of reflections
developed at a later date, and possibly influenced by the momentous
events which were soon to take place. Getting back to the interview
proper, I last stated that I becamé disinterested in the subject
matter of the book itself and sought a way to conclude the interview.
I sought again to determine his identity and asked him "What did you

was, but I can clearly re-call that was a part of it, because
at the time I related the name "Oswald" in my mind to that of a
