Project-research, as it evolved during the war and through the 1920s had several characteristics common to what is known as the "problem approach" already in existence at that time. The United States government had pioneered in the problem approach as early as 1880 in the Department of Agriculture, and for years several bureau chiefs had assigned experts in various disciplines... 

Harmonization of pharmacopeial standards as a practical matter began at the International Congresses of Pharmacy between 1865 and 1910 [2], but the first formal attempt can be traced to 1902. Both USP President Horatio C. Wood, M.D., and Frederick M. Power, Ph.D., an American chemist of the Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories of London, were appointed by the U.S. Secretary of State as delegates to represent the United States government at the International Conference for the Unification of the Formulae for Heroic Medicines, a conference of 19 countries from Europe and North America [3]. The second conference occurred in 1918. The 3rd in 1925 was attended by 31 countries from all continents except Asia and Australia. They drafted a new International Convention, which came in force in 1929. It revised the 1902 agreements on 77 heroic medicines and introduced the concept of maximum dose. It also requested that the League of Nations create a permanent secretariat of pharmacopeias [4]. Andrew G. DuMez, Ph.D., represented the USP, and was officially appointed by the U.S. Public Health Service to represent the United States at this conference [4,5]. An expert committee of the League of Nations planned a third conference for 1938, but it was never convened because of World War II [2].

Because of outside interest in this symposium, we have added related papers for the publication of this book. Innovation has been added to the title to better reflect the relationship of these papers to what will be the long standing concern of the entire research and development area of the United States—government and private sector. 

The reaction of the establishment to the rise in use of lsd and other enthe-ogens in the sixties was rapid and drastic. Leary s contract was terminated by Harvard for non-performance in 1963, and Alpert was also dismissed that same year. This isolated Leary and Alpert from their professional peers, and effectively discredited them ( (bil 19 63s). Cut off from legitimate research, Leary and Alpert were reduced to the role of proselytizers for LSD. Three years later, as LSD use became the rage, the United States government decided to make an example of Leary. On 26 March 1966, Leary was arrested in Laredo, Texas for possession of scraps of marijuana, and shortly thereafter, on 16 April, his residence and headquarters at an estate called Millbrook in New "York was raided by one G. Gordon Liddy, later to...
