The author reviews recent work on La[sub 2]Cu[sub 1[minus]x]Li[sub x]O[sub 4] for 0 < x < 0.5. Li substitutes for Cu in La[sub 2]CuO[sub 4], resulting in both the addition of a hole and the loss of a spin (because Li is monovalent and S = 0 while Cu is divalent and S = 1/2). Qualitatively, Li substitution has the same effect as the combined substitution of Sr and Zn. The author explores the extent to which this analogy can be made quantitative and discuss how these results influence understanding of the doped hole state in La[sub 2]CuO[sub 4].
