    Question #95958. Asked by jensj2. (May 22 08 1:57 PM)

    		I wouldn't call John F. Kennedy a "famous author," but he was certainly famous and the author of Pulitzer Prize-winning "Profiles in Courage."

    C. S. Lewis, indeed a famous author, died the same day.

    		On his deathbed, unable to speak, Huxley made a written request to his wife for "LSD, 100µg, intramuscular.". According to her account of his death (in her book This Timeless Moment), she obliged with an injection at 11:45 am and another a couple of hours later. He died at 5:21 pm on 22 November 1963, aged 69.
