Background information: "On September 12, 1970, the [Weatherman Underground] executed the escape from the minimum security facility, California Men's Colony West (CMCW), San Luis Obispo, of Dr. Timothy Francis Leary, Jr. Leary, a PhD graduate and lecturer at Harvard University, had developed a sizable following among young adults because of his research into the effects of consciousness-altering drugs, particularly LSD.
