A 1965 photograph alleged to show Professor Saurian while on the lam from his Soviet overlords. The former Neurologist to Josef Stalin had by now seen his radical theories of consciousness expansion and life extension via cerebral injection of chemicals derived from the pituitary glands of human cadavers officially discredited. It is rumored that during this period, he was hounded by Bulgarian assassins under the direction of the Soviets. According to one theory, Saurian soon made his way to London and there, under the guise of a wealthy but mysterious socialite, introduced the Beatles to eastern music, psychedelic drugs, and John Lennon to Yoko Ono.
