Lovelace Foundation (Dr. Reif) – (A note about Dr. Lovelace, Dr. William Randolf Lovelace II, former commander of the U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In 1951 Lovelace won a $25,000 contract with the Atomic Energy Commission for a “blast and shock biology” research program in which animals were killed in atomic weapons tests. Lovelace’s radiation experiments were conducted at Kirtland Air Force Base and Los Alamos in New Mexico. In 1954 Dr. Ulrich Luft was chosen to chair the Department of Physiology. He had worked at the U.S. Air Force’s School of Aviation Medicine at Randolph Field in San Antonio, Texas, where he had held the position of Associate Professor of Physiology since 1947. Prior to his being brought to the U.S. under Project Paperclip, Dr. Luft served as the Third Reich’s chief of Aviation Physiology at the Berlin Aeromedical Research Institute from 1942-1945 under Dr. Hubertus Strughold. Documents captured after the war tell of a top-secret meeting held in Nuremberg in Oct. 1942 at which Dr. Luft and other high-level Nazis discussed the results of their criminal experiments. In one experiment, designed to study the “effects of freezing on human beings,” the subjects were reportedly immersed in freezing water with thermometers in their orifices. “The subjects howl frightfully when they freeze,” one scientist commented.

Sidney Gottlieb died in March 1999 and preceded Karen in death. Judge DiCarlo died on the morning of April 27, 1999 while presiding over an appeal made by Plaintiff-Appellant Gloria Kronisch, the executrix for the estate of Stanley Glickman. Mr. Glickman originally filed a complaint in 1983 against the United States; Richard Helms, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”); and Dr. Sidney Gottlieb claiming he was surreptitiously administered LSD
.
The district court initially granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants, but a panel of this Court vacated and remanded part of that decision. That remanded decision was affirmed by Judge Kimba Wood, who presided over the remaining portions of the trial; including closing summations, the instruction of the jury, and the rendering of the verdict. Sidney’s untimely death meant he could not be cross-examined.
