More Peaking on the Prairies:	

	Meanwhile, in the United States, government intelligence
	agents were becoming interested in psychotropic drugs. The
	CIA was particularly keen to find a chemical can opener for the
	brains of enemy agents. Nazi scientists had experimented with
	mescaline on prisoners at Dachau, and, after the war, some of
	these scientists were brought to the US to work on government-
	funded research. The CIA had been tinkering with heroin and
	mescaline as interrogation aids, and with LSD the spy agency
	believed it had finally found its longed-for truth serum.
