[jhall23]

Another name of a character that is taken from real life.

"Richard Alpert" aka "Ram Dass" was the other professor that did all the experimentation with Tim Leary at harvard with LSD and then went on to became immersed in Indian Spirituality after that. Probably nothing more then where the writers heads were at with all the Dharma iniative and all the spiritual stuff that comes from, but just something I noticed when I found his last name was Alpert on the site with the new images.
