Am I the only one who thinks it's significant that Richard Alpert is named Richard Alpert? As in Timothy Leary's associate from the Harvard LSD research... the Alpert who went on to change his name to Ram Dass, the Hindu/Buddhist (dharma anybody?) guru?
Wow... thats cool! I didn't know Timothy Leary had an associate name Richard Alpert. Thats crazy! Next thing you know Richard will be telling people to "think for yourself, question authority"
