This profile deals mostly with my new memoir, THE BROKEN PLACES,
but touches on the Tippit murder.

I am happy to read responses on Facebook including
Joe Green saying "Great article" and Mark O'Blazney offering
this amusing response:

"I kind of liked your fruitless plan to save the world. Reminds me of Ginsberg trying to call the White House to convince Jack to drop some LSD with Khrushchev, and all would be well, you'd see."

Well, at least I tried to save the world.

Good article and nice to finally put a face to your name. I see you are in my age cohort. I too liked your idea to save the World and can't imagine how it could wind you into a psychiatric hospital when it involved no harm to anyone. People in the World think very small and keep their thumb on their scripts given to them by society....anyone who deviates [i.e. can think for themselves] gets punished, ground down, ignored, or worse.

Well, it seems that Jack did drop some acid with M.P. Meyers - and it did change him....so much so that they felt they had to kill him for that [and a few dozen other things].
