"I want to be known as the most brilliant man on earth," said Ginsberg, "who overthrew the CIA with silent thought ... who sang of blues that made rock stars weep and moved old black guitarists to laughter in Memphis ... who could call the Justice Department and threaten to blow the whistle ... who wasn't afraid of God or death...
