If you want to capture someone’s attention whisper in their ear these words—political prisoner. Almost immediately, grainy images of a tortured man occupying a dark cell in a far-away totalitarian society will come to mind. But America has had its share of political prisoners both unknown and well known. Younger readers and those with a short historical perspective will be challenged to remember Doctor Timothy Leary—the man who said, ‘Turn on, tune in and drop out’. Sounds like a call to arms, huh? During the 1970s, Leary was labeled ‘the most dangerous man in America’ by a sitting president. This book was issued for political purposes and should have a proper warning label—mature readers only, may cause unintentional laughter; LSD may intensify this effect, use care when operating a car or dangerous machinery.
