Clare Booth Luce?

The HTML link leads to a 32 page long essay on the Luce's promotion of  
LSD even as the drug became illegal.

	In 1966, LSD was the focus of nine articles in Time, America’s
	highest-circulation magazine at that time, including one titled
	“Mysticism in the Lab,” which began:

	St. Paul was converted while riding on the road to Damascus by
	a sudden vision of the Risen Christ, who appeared to him in the
	form of a  blinding light that struck him to the ground. Teresa of
	Avila, the 16th Century saint, had poetic visions of “pure water
	running over crystal, the sun reflecting it and striking through it.”

	Simone Weil, the lonely Jewish girl who turned into a Christian
	mystic, tells how the recitation of lines by George Herbert, such
	as, “Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,” acted on
	her intuitive conscious  like prayer. “Then it happened,” she
	recalled. “Christ himself came down,  and he took me.”
