Neville takes LSD with a doctor under planned observation

A doctor friend, knowing Neville was mystically inclined since childhood, asked to take a maximum dose of LSD with him; Aldous Huxley was to observe but was sick that night, so two others came with tapes — the doctor went back into childhood and into convulsions, while Neville got only distortion of the senses for about forty-eight hours and would shun it.

    Source delivery claim on lecture nid 2001, bound/after/probable, derived from Churchill's death (Jan 1965) being spoken of as past
    Reasoning The LSD story is told in a lecture whose own delivery date is only established as a lower bound of 1965 from Churchill's death; the telling of this story therefore inherits that same bound and cannot be more precise than its source.
