In any event, Haraldsson remained at the ASPR for the month of May. But I remember that he was cold toward me. For the rest of May we limped through various experiment. But tension was everywhere. When I arrived at the ASPR for work on 29 May, Janet said that Dr. Osis wanted to see me in his office. Her face was pinched up. So I bounded up the stairs to Dr. Osis. The upshot was that we were to do no more remote viewing experiments, that the ASPR was not to permit time for ideas I wanted to test out. I was furious. And, I'm sorry to say that I treated Dr. Osis to one of my most volatile outrages -- and for which I was later to become somewhat noted as the "prima donna superpsychic." I remember saying: "Is this your idea, or the idea of some of the scumbags on the Board? Does this mean that we will dispense with all my concepts -- including the picture-drawing one?" No, the picture drawing idea had been a good one, and "we" (the ASPR) would continue to use it. But in essence, I was henceforth to do only what the experimenters wanted -- and nothing else. I was to become a standard test subject. The argument was tremendous and went on for about fifteen minutes.
