Greenwich Village

Similar but less conspicuous developments took place in East Greenwich Village at about the same time—and half a year later the new style was evident in the low-rent centers of most large U.S. cities. The participants were mainly whites in their teens to thirties, the "baby boom sons and daughters of people who were secure financially. 

From 1966 to 1968 he lived in Greenwich Village, New York and did post-doctoral work on the photooxygenation and radical chemistry of metalloporphyrins with Sam Graniok and David Mauzerall at the Rockefeller University. 

In May 1953 White became Subproject Three of M K U L T R A, his job to provide the environment in which the Cl A could test drugs on unsuspecting victims. Under an assumed name he rented an apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City, which the CIA then fitted out with microphones and two-way mirrors. White then engaged prostitutes to lure men back to the apartment, where their drinks would be doctored with drugs like cannabis concentrate and LSD. Then in early 1955 the Narcotics Bureau, who were still his notional employers, transferred White to San Francisco.
