SORRY FOR THE CAPS.
YEAH, THAT'S ONE HELL OF A JEWISH NOSE, IF I EVER SAW ONE!
SORRY FOR THE CAPS!
The photo was sent to me by a friend who didn't recognize the boy in the tie. It was labelled "Hebb experiment McGill 1951." If Leonard hadn't told me about his days in flotation tanks, I wouldn't have recognized him so easily. In 1951, when this photo was taken, he was 17. One wonders who signed the permission slip -- his mother? Or perhaps they just didn't bother with those little details, back then.

Note the use of a double hyphen with space on either side rather than an M-dash. The book is clearly self-published—by "Diamondback Books." No serious publisher would allow such a typographical abomination.
The only real problem I have with the photo is that it doesn't look like a 17-year-old. But then, he must have been under a lot of stress at the time.
