Subject: Was Timothy Leary Cryopreserved?

	One of my students surprised me today by telling me that he had
recently seen a movie, "TImothy Leary's Death", in which Leary's head was
prepared for neurosuspension. I recall reading a fairly lengthy article
which described Leary's vacillation with respect to cryonics and his final
decision not to be suspended.

	Help on the following questions would be very much appreciated:
What is the reference for the publication? Was it in "Cryonics"? (I've
forgotten.) Has anyone else seen the movie? Was Leary really suspended or
wasn't he? What accounts for the conflicting stories?
