I had no idea at the time that during my last two years of med school, Harold Wolff was secretly under contract to the CIA. He received funds by way of the Geschicter Foundation and the Human Ecology Fund, front organizations set up to launder money for LSD research. Wolff was only one of many prestigious professors and research pharmacologists partly supported by the CIA in the early 1950s. 

The Chemical Corps had great respect for Harold Wolff, but they were not the only ones who admired his imposing intellect. As students, we also regarded him with awe. His lectures were always crisp and precise, and he presented information so clearly that we all considered him a pedagogical phenomenon.

Despite this double-edged characterization, Harold Wolff was, in my opinion, a force for good. As Marks acknowledges, Wolff was always clear in his insistence that no one be injured by any experimental procedure. 

This surge of interest culminated in the appointment by the Department of Defense of an Ad Hoc Study Group on Psycho chemical Agents in June of 1955. Harold G. Wolff (who has received special attention in this book) headed this group, subsequently referred to as fee Wolff Committee. The group s report in November 1955 was an important determinant of Army planning with respect to the clinical study of LSD.

In the early 1940s, Cornell University professors Harold Wolff and Stewart Wolf studied the response of the human stomach to a range of emotions predpitated by stressful situations in everyday life. These interests, which were focused on peptic ulceration, were facilitated by the availability of Tom (bottom), a patient with a large gastric fistula (center left). The investigations of Tom became a model for the study of human physiology with the voluntary cooperation of a patient and were later detailed in Time magazine.
