Listen to 1966 Senate hearings on LSD chaired by Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY)
In 1966, several Senate
committees held hearings about LSD, driven by fears of abuse on college
campuses in particular. A subcommittee led by Robert Kennedy compelled
testimony from representatives of the Food and Drug Administration, the
National Institute of Mental Health, and other U.S. government agencies
to explore the role of the government in regulating the drug and
overseeing research. Kennedy was in favor of more research, especially
in the area of mental health.
Excerpts from Hearings of the Subcommittee on Executive Reorganization
of the Senate Committee on Government Operations concerning federal drug
research and regulation of LSD, May 24, 1966 [NLM Historical Audiovisuals accession #2001-02]
ᴙesearch data, audio and video tapes and film, photographs and
negatives, charts and graphs, and reprints document Dr. Calhoun’s
research activity at NIMH’s Section on Behavioral Systems. Users will
also find much information about NIH internal and external politics.
Calhoun was often on the cutting-edge of behavioral research during a
time of dramatic scientific organizational change at NIH. He arranged
the entire corpus of his research documentation within a series entitled
the Historical Flow Chart (HFC).In addition to this, Calhoun employed
several other organizational schemes, such as numbered Section on
Behavioral Systems (SOBS), Unit for Research of Behavioral Systems
(URBS), Internal Research Query (IRQ), Research Communications (RC),
“Review and Synthesis,” and alphanumeric document sets. Users will find
these organizational codes throughout the collection. These materials
provide exceptional insight into Calhoun’s own mind and thought
processes.

(Rattus norvegicus):a study conducted by John B. Calhoun from 1947 to 1959 near Towson Maryland
U.S. Government Films
The U.S. Army and the U.S. Public Health Serviceproduced many films
in the 1940s and 1950s about the habits of rats, the perils of
contamination and disease, how to ratproof homes and buildings, and as
necessary, how to poison rats effectively. See links below to two titles
from NLM Digital Collections.
In 2008, essay author Dr. Edmund Ramsden visited NLM and delivered a
History of Medicine lecture titled “Finding Humanity in Rat City: John
B. Calhoun’s Experiments at NIMH”.
In this 1970 piece published in the Western Journal of Medicine,
Calhoun writes about the destructive social implications of severe
overcrowding. “In the celebrated thesis of Thomas Malthus, vice and
misery impose the ultimate natural limit on the growth of populations.
Students of the subject have given most of their attention to misery,
that is, to predation, disease and food supply….But what of vice?
Setting aside the moral burden of this word, what are the effects…of
population density on social behavior?”
In a 1973 article published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine,
Dr. Calhoun describes his experiments and findings. “I shall largely
speak of mice, but my thoughts are on man, on healing, on life and its
evolution. Threatening life and evolution are the two deaths, death of
the spirit and death of the body….”

Roger Ebert : Jan 1 1981 - Eurekais a strange, perverse film about passion and greed, and it leads us through a labyrinthine story to a simple message: Money can't buy you love.
It stars Gene Hackman asan obsessed gold prospector in the Yukon, who screams into the wind that hewill "never make a nickel off another man's sweat." He stalks outinto a blizzard, almost freezes to death, and then is saved through thesupernatural intervention of a fortune-teller (Helena Kalianiotes). Shearranges for him to find the mother lode and become the richest man in the world.
We then flash forward to the 1930s, when he lives on his own Caribbean island. He should be a man without worries, but he is desperately unhappy because his beloved daughter (Theresa Russell) has married a scheming playboy (Rutger Hauer). While monsoons blow and parrots squawk, he bans Hauer from his table and vows to see him dead. "At first I thought you wanted my daughter. Then I thought you wanted my gold," Hackman screams at him. "Now I think you want my soul." He is right, but there is a battle over that soul, and the other contestant is the daughter herself. The film's director, Nicolas Roeg, says he has friends who seem to be the soul-clones of their parents, and apparently the closing passages of “Eureka” are meant to be seen with that notion in mind. Meanwhile, there are so many other notions to keep in mind that the film all but sinks under the weight of its inspiration. Roeg is a fascinating director. Remember some of his films: “Walkabout,” “Don’t Look Now,” “Performance,” “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” “Bad Timing.” They almost all seem to deal with supernatural intervention in the affairs of man, and with the way those mysteries get tangled up with the bedsheets. His films are also a visual feast; Roeg, a former editor, loves to construct complicated fantasies out of images and memories, shocks and beautiful meditations, Straightforward storytelling is not his strong point. But so what? The basic facts of “Eureka” (man strikes gold, becomes rich, grows old and jealous, suffers for greed) are familiar from Jack London, Edgar Allan Poe, and von Stroheim's “Greed.” What Roeg brings to the party is a flair for the sensational, for characters who are larger than their weaknesses, who are connected to great archetypal forces. Hackman is wonderful here, with the intensity of his obsessions, and once again Russell (still only in her mid-twenties) is brilliant; in some ways this is her movie, and she steals scenes from everybody except, sometimes, Hackman. If “Eureka” is not completely successful if, indeed, it is sometimes merely silly and often confusing, maybe that's the price we pay for Roeg's intensity. At least it is never boring.
