I was just reading though a selection of letters by <a href="http://www.sullivansfarms.net/s1dneycom/lazlo/">Lazlo Toth</a> (mentioned on the <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/71255/The-Billy-Letters">blue</a>), and he sent one to Gerald Ford with this in it:<br> <br> "Dear Mr. Vice President Ford, I just read in the paper where someone tried to put LSD in your coffee in Chicago. Are you okay?"<br> <br> Is this referring to an actual news story that came out at the time?<br> <br> He also brings up LSD in Chicago Mayor Daley's minestrone, which sounds like a joke.<br> <br> Note: the letter is dated May 16, 1974.<br> <br> Thanks. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.90150 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:11:41 -0800 geraldford history lazlototh lsd fingo
