Wasn't there some marine scientist that got in trouble for milking dolphins?

Yeah, NASA paid to fund research to communicate with dolphins, and it led to jerking off one of the adolescents so he'd be able to concentrate on the lessons better. Also there was LSD in there for a bit. When the project lost funding the dolphin was moved to an inadequate facility so he got depressed and offed himself.

The 60s was a hell of a time for sciencing stuff.
