   I'm in NYU right now and don't have the new ENCARTA BOOK OF QUOTATIONS
handy.
   From THE OXFORD DICTIONARY OF QUOTATIONS (fifth edition):

Timothy Leary (1920-1996)
"...turn on, tune in and drop out."
lecture, June 1966, in _The Politics of Ecstasy_ (1968).

   From the EAST VILLAGE OTHER, April 15-May 1, 1966, pg. 9, col. 1:

_E.V.O. Ball Report_
April Fool's Dance, Models' Ball:
A True Story
(...)  "The End of the World is coming," someone kept insisting and Tim Leary
said, "No, don't worry, it's only a party."  Later on stage, after a
standing, cheering ovation when he was introduced, he spoke about the younger
generation and ended by advising them to, "TURN ON, TUNE IN, AND DROP OUT."
