...Written with poet Mason Hoffenberg, Southern's best-remembered comic novel, "Candy" (1964) had a curious history: first published in 1958 under the pseudonym "Maxwell Kenton" by the Paris-based Olympia Press (a firm that printed trite erotica and debuted groundbreaking works like "Lolita" and "Naked Lunch"), the book fell into a strange copyright limbo on these shores.

I call it Third Stream because I had a silly idea of the First and Second...
...purchased from Kristensen in the 1980s, for example, helped neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinas of New York University School of Medicine discover a new calcium channel involved in the communication between certain neurons, shedding new light on how the mind works. Another toxin extracted from Spider Pharm venom in 1995 by Kenton Swartz at the National Institutes of Health (named hanatoxin after Swartz's daughter) is being used to probe the function of proteins that are located on cellular membranes and have been implicated in diseases ranging from diabetes to epilepsy...
