Tripping

"In the retrospective memoir Tripping, B.H. Friedman takes us behind the scenes for an intimate look at Timothy Leary's inner circle, a group of teachers, students, and artists who participated in drug research and experimentation throughout much of the 1960s. Based on his detailed journals as well as correspondence with Leary and others, the author paints a candid portrait of the firsthand effects of "tripping" and the ultimate price that some paid when dreams of innocence and liberation turned into nightmares."--Jacket.

First sentence: AT DUSK ON A CHILLY SUNDAY IN EARLY APRIL 1961, my friend George Rapée and I began the short drive up the Henry Hudson Parkway to jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's home in Riverdale.
