Keith,

Thanks.  I didn't really know Watts.  Ran into him a time or two
in Washington, DC, at meetings of the old Washington Sexual
Freedom League.  Since I'm not into Zen, I didn't know he was so
pivotal.

Although we have been out of touch for some time, Robert Anton
Wilson is an old and dear friend.  You may note that in his
_Cosmic Trigger_ he says that I am the real head of the
Illuminati.  He also used me as a sinister character lurking in
the background of a couple of his "fiction" works.
