One reader pointed out that the NY Times link to the subconscious mind article wasn't working anymore. This one is working as of today (but the links might expire, I think NY Times usually requires registration):

It was a really interesting article. It reminds me of a time in college when I was volunteering for a lot of psychology experiments for extra credit. For one experiment, I arrived as the previous student was finishing up. I overheard him telling the experimenter that it had been very boring. Then it was my turn. I did the experiment and then was asked to give my impression of it. I told them that I also thought it had been boring. However, the first student had actually been planted to prime my attitude. It was embarrassing to know that I could be manipulated in such a way.

Do you have more stuff about/by this Pearce man? That is by far the most terrifying, shocking, horrifying interview I have ever read. I'm curious to know what you think about it...
