Timothy Leary: Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow
The last six months in the life of Timothy Leary. Diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer, he asks the author, his biographer, another Berkeley Clinical Psychologist, and baseball buddy, to write his Obituary, as requested by Jann Wenner, for posthumous publication in Rolling Stone magazine. Outside Looking In documents, in a more brief form, Leary's life's arc, from an Altar Boy in Springfield, Massachusetts, to Lecturer in Psychology at Harvard, to the grand panjandrum of LSD, to jail-break from the San Louis Obispo Prison, through exile in Europe, arrest in Kabul, years of prison in the U.S., and his final act - Hollywood. And a internationally covered death. How would he go? His decision. Everyone knows the 'yard sale' of Timothy Leary's now, it is explained.

No one will remember Whitmer -- we will not forget TIMOTHY LEARY
Leary did not create the counterculture but it would not be sustaining to this day without him. Would that someone had slipped some acid in alcoholic Nixon's drink and then talked him out of bombing Cambodia. Seriously though acid didn't create the cry for peace and love but it affirmed it forever. Whitmore writes jealous hateful trash. Leary was flamboyant but in a charming wise way.
