Shown here is the Harvard professor Dr. Timothy Leary, who gave LSD to his students.

This is Antonio Moniz, who shared the Nobel Prize with Hess of Switzerland. Moniz was from Lisbon, Portugal. Moniz invented lobotomy. Hess did research on cats. Hess was a good guy, not a bad guy.

This is the infamous SIgmund Freud, who Dr. E. Fuller Torrey described as a "fraud". This may be a case of the pot calling the kettle black because Torrey for decades has favored the virus theory, which has very little scientific backing. The evidence in favor of the virus theory is the neuropathology and the unknown toxic factor data. However, both the neuropathology and the toxic factor data can also be explained by the pink spot theory (rejected by Shulgin). There is evidence against the virus theory. The toxic factor cannot be passaged from one culture to another. In other words, you can't inoculate anything. It does not replicate. Also no virus has ever been found in schizophrenia.

This is Senator Arlen Specter, who invented perhaps the most ridiculous forensic theory of all time for the Warren Commission in 1964. This theory was called the "magic bullet" theory. At that time he was a lawyer.

This clipart of Earl Warren was taken from Yahoo Reference, the Britanica Concise. This is a very good website which I have not used hardly at all due to the fact that I just discovered it. Earl Warren was a highly regarded jurist until the Warren Comission whitewash. Warren accepted Specter's ludicrus theory because it made it come out the way he wanted the "facts" to come out. Warren concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman that shot John F. Kennedy. In reality Oswald never fired a shot. Warren was a Republican. Specter is a Republican. However, the Democrats did not come out well in this mess either, except for Mark Lane. Lyndon Johnson benefited a great deal from the death of JFK. Mark Lane wrote "Rush to Judgement", a brilliant book which immediately became a best seller. Gerald Ford, a Republican, was on the Commission. Ford later moved up to becoming Vice President under Nixon and later President when Nixon resigned.

This was a difficult choice to make because Shulgin has written a brilliant book and brilliant papers. However, Dr. Alexander Shulgin has created terrible drugs in the name of research. He has created drugs of abuse.

This is E. Fuller Torrey. Torrey predicted the "death of psychiatry", comparing psychiatrists to witch doctors and shamans. Since Torrey is himself a psychiatrist, it is not clear why we should listen to this. The prediction of the death of psychiatry proved to be a premature burial. He may have thought than neurology would take over psychiatry, but this did not happen, perhaps because the neurologists didn't want to.

This was a difficult choice. Dr. James Papez, of the United States, died in 1958. Papez was a brilliant neuroanatomist, but claimed to have found microorganisms in schizophrenia. These "inclusion bodies" were probably real, but may have represented lipofuscin granules or some other kind of granules. Towards the end Papez, who worked with Bateman, backed off from the microorganism theory after being bombarded with criticism. He thought he found a schizococcus.

This is Dr. Joseph Mengele, sometimes called "the Angel of Death". He is seen at Auschwitz in 1943. Mengele escaped to South America after World War II. Efforts were made to hunt him down, but they failed until after his death. His bones were found and identified, possibly by dental records. He may have been the most evil doctor that ever lived.

Here is another clipart of Mengele, also from the Crime Library website.
