CoL49 (5) Mirror, Mirror [PC 81]

[rich]

I'm not making a declaration here that the overarching subject of
CoL49 is MKULTRA's "Operation Midnight Climax", but there are echos of
that in this scene and there is a peculiar quality of nocturnal
psychedelia in Oedipa's journey through San Francisco's night-town.

one sort've cringes when one thinks how many of these secret wacked
out projects have never been made public or are going on right now.
these things tend to be self-perpetuating

look at obama and the now head of the CIA Panetta--they were all for
transparency and high morality; just a few months in power, they are
now playing a different tune
