[[Marion Pettie]], founder of [[The Finders]], was born in Culpeper in 1920, ran a communal property in the mountains near the town, and died there on October 24, 2003; he said [[Timothy Leary]] sent people down to it in the 1960s.[^6] [[Aldrich Ames]] bought a 540,000-dollar house in Arlington for cash in 1989, on a CIA salary of about 70,000 dollars.[^7] In September 1976 the investigator [[Gaeton Fonzi]] arranged for [[Antonio Veciana]] to meet [[David Atlee Phillips]] at a conference of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in Reston.[^8] [[Sidney Gottlieb]] kept a goat farm in rural Virginia.[^9] [[Harry Snyder]] of Virginia Tech and Arlene Snyder, as Systemetrics of Blacksburg, wrote the 1979 critical evaluation of remote-viewing research held by the CIA.[^10] The Virginia editor [[James J.
