San Francisco Chronicle to NMERDI
 "Three days later I called the number and
learned I was speaking with Alexander Theodore Shulgin, Ph.D. Sasha, as he is
known by acquaintances, introduced himself as the chemist who had developed
STP for Dow Chemical Company at its laboratories in the San Francisco East
Bay. This was significant news because Chronicle reporting on the drug to
that time had intimated that STP was probably a Hippie-Communist conspiracy
concocted to destroy the minds and stir-fry the gene pool of American youth.
Although abominated by the political Left because of the company's massive
and very profitable production of the napalm used by the U.S. military in Vietnam,
Dow Chemical was in the view of the Establishment, and the Chronicle city
editor, a moral and ethical pillar of America's industrial might and
genius."
