Robert Duncan, Charles Olson, Joel Oppenheimer, David Rattray all were introduced to me through the kind offices of Elsa Dorfman the photographer. She was also the founder of the Paterson Society which put “The Beats” on the public road. David was a friend of John Wieners and once entertained me with anecdotes about him. The most bizarre was a night in New York when both were stoned and ended up on a rooftop. David told me that while Wieners intoned “fire, fire” all night hitting every possible sound combination, David...
...oppressed minority. This makes the homosexual a revolutionary, along with oppressed and militant groups like blacks and women.

He resorts to Freud: "Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider...
FURTHER RESEARCH may provide a bonus of new genetic, chemical and electronic ways to enhance sexual pleasure. Physicist John Taylor, in fact, professes to fear that sex will become so much fun that people will want to give up practically all nonsexual activities. Author Gordon Rattray Taylor predicts that it may become possible to "buy desire," or switch it on or off at will; the playboy might opt for continuous excitement and the astronaut for freedom from sexual urges during space flight...
Genetics may open the door to still more macabre methods of destruction. In The Biological Time Bomb (World; $5.50), published last week, British Science Writer Gordon Rattray Taylor raises the specter of genetic warfare-one nation permanently weakening the people of another by infecting them with potent lab-made viruses carrying damaging hereditary material. Experiments have already shown that viral infections can make fruit flies fatally sensitive to such ordinary substances as carbon dioxide. M.I.T. Bacteriologist Salvador Luria speculates that some day a diabolical individual may be able to concoct a virus that renders men equally susceptible to specific substances...
After Chris married Anna Rattray in 1884, ne settled down to raise a family-four boys, two girls. As soon as the youngsters were old enough to hold a clamp, he set them to work in the waterfront boat shop. In 1896, two years after his success with his first naphtha-gas boat, he and Hank tried a 2-h.p. Sintz gasoline engine. "It never ran well," says Chris's son Jay, 74, "until Charles Sintz showed up from Grand Rapids two years later with a gadget he called a carburetor...
