Mary is only five years old. She sits on a small, straight-backed
chair, moving her legs back and forth, humming the same four notes over
and over and over. Her head, framed in a tangled mass of golden curls,
moves up and down with each note. For the first three years of her life,
Mary was thought to be a mostly normal child. Then, after she began
behaving oddly, she had been handed off to a foster family. Her father
and mother didn't want her any longer. She had become too strange for
her father, whose alcoholism clouded any awareness of his young
daughter. Mary's mother had never wanted her anyway and was happy to
have her placed in another home. When the LSD Mary has been given begins
to have its effects, she stops moving her head and legs and sits
staring at the wall. She doesn't move at all. After about ten minutes,
she looks at the nearby physician observing her, and says, "God isn't
coming back today. He's too busy. He won't be back here for weeks".'
