Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Item consists of a scene emphasizing the controversy over Harvard Professor Timothy Leary, a guru of LSD, being given permission to enter Canada for the purpose of what is assumed to be to address students at the University of Toronto. The scene is what appears to be a hypothetical downtown Toronto street corner in winter showing a conservatively dressed businessman, standing beside an open newspaper box looking over his shoulder at an upside down, levitating figure of professor Timothy Leary in an LSD drug induced state. Leary is commenting on the newspaper headline pertaining to his proposed visit.
