I know what you mean, but I don't think this will change my views of Leary much. It looks to me very much like a hatchet job. All famous people have detractors-- it makes money. Green field is cashing in on someone else's fame. I know Leary informed on people when he got caught in Afghanistan-- and as I remember it lead to no convictions. I bet Robert Greenfield would have done the same. I know he a lot of marital problems as well. We all know he lacjked common sense. I know he got carried away by his own "High Priest' persona, but he was still a very special individual and he wrote a lot of fascinating books, which I suspect are somewhat above Greenfield's head.
