The Caltech Chemist Who Put Poison on a Prime Minister's Toothbrush

著者：
A Caltech-educated biochemist carried a glass vial of lethal substance onto a Washington plane in 1960 with orders to target the Congo’s prime minister’s toothbrush - a plot recorded in the congressional record. How did a stuttering, folk-dancing gardener from the Bronx become the architect of MKUltra, and who paid the price for experiments done without consent?
In this episode, we trace the life and career of Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA’s Chief of the Chemical Division, and lay out what surviving files reveal about MKUltra, its approvals, and its human cost. What exactly did the documents show about the program’s methods and the people harmed?
Person: Sidney Gottlieb
Date: April 13, 1953
Event: Authorization of MKUltra
Location: Washington (plane departure) / Congo (target)
Education: PhD in Biochemistry, California Institute of Technology (June 1943)
- Gottlieb was born August 3, 1918, in the Bronx to parents Fanny and Louis Gottlieb.
- He completed his PhD at Caltech in June 1943; dissertation titled "Studies on a Growth Inhibitor in Guayule."
- Gottlieb was hired by the CIA on July 13, 1951, at age 32 as Chief of the Chemical Division.
- The April 13, 1953 memo co-signed by Richard Helms and Sidney Gottlieb authorized MKUltra.
- Files ordered destroyed in 1973; surviving materials persisted almost by accident and are documented in the congressional record.
