CIA Tested LSD on New York Subway?

https://i0.wp.com/lh6.ggpht.com/_dIbZxC7vaxY/Rr8WZDrWDoI/AAAAAAAACA0/siipUImNOio/DSC02856.jpgOn Nov. 28, 1953, Frank Olson, a bland, seemingly innocuous 42-year-old government scientist, plunged to his death from room 1018A in New York’s Statler Hotel, landing on a Seventh Avenue sidewalk just opposite Penn Station.

Olson’s ignominious end was written off as an unremarkable suicide of a depressed government bureaucrat who came to New York City seeking psychiatric treatment, so it attracted scant attention at the time.

But 22 years later, the Rockefeller Commission report was released, detailing a litany of domestic abuses committed by the CIA. The ugly truth emerged: Olson’s death was the result of his having been surreptitiously dosed with LSD days earlier by his colleagues.

Pompeii Fast Food Joint To Reopen After Two Thousand Year Hiatus

Its last customers left in something of a hurry 1,921 years ago but the high profile launch promises to be something of a more unhurried affair.

Three hundred specially invited guests are to taste the delights of Roman fast food in the thermopolium (that’s snack bar to you and me) in a special ceremony to mark the reopening of the joint, which has been closed to the general public for many years. Now after a long period of excavation and preservation, visitors will be able to once more taste the house specialty – baked cheese with lashings of honey.
