Postscript for the curious without instant access to a library:
I just said:
< The army of psychic remote viewers is a 1950s sf concept that you'd think
would have absolutely no basis whatsoever in reality. But the military paid
for just such a project >
Here's an on-line description:

Even if this is regarded as psy-war (spook the godless commies?) rather
than psi-war, it suggests an openness in at least some quarters of the
military and intelligence communities to extreme projects that people here
might find a tad chilling.
