| Description | WASHINGTON - A physician at the U.S. Capitol prescribed a powerful sleep aid for
William Rehnquist for nearly a decade while he was an associate justice of the Supreme Court, according to newly released
FBI records.
The records present a picture of a justice with chronic back pain who for many months took three times the recommended dosage of the drug Placidyl and then went into withdrawal in 1981 when he abruptly stopped taking it.
Rehnquist checked himself into George Washington University Hospital, where he tried to escape in his pajamas and imagined that the
CIA was plotting against him, the records indicate. |
