The native Philadelphians around me recall that he claimed that he was afraid of CIA mind reading techniques. Now that the CIA has repeatedly been shown to be incompetent, will this argument fly? I mean, it may have been well and good in the early eighties when America seemed at the top of its game, but now?Einhorn Fled U.S. in Fear, Lawyer Says. PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Former hippie guru Ira Einhorn did not kill his girlfriend more than 20 years ago, and he fled the country only because he was ``plain scared,'' his lawyer said Monday.

On the Saturday night reading of the 2002 Dodge Poetry Festival, Stanley Kunitz remembers being rocked on his feet by Gerard Manley Hopkins’s “God’s Grandeur,” found as he was rummaging through the Harvard stacks. His poem “Touch Me” had a similar effect on me when I first opened to it in the pages of... The New Yorker, I think. It struck me with that chord of longing and rabid jealousy that the great poems evoke in me. It was around that time that I made the pilgrimage to the 92nd Street Y to attend his 90th birthday celebration. I remember the jokes he made about... Ben Jonson, was it?... and how Ben Jonson laughed at being the oldest poet, still publishing at around 90?
Other poems have wrought that effect on me, the wish that I had the skill to write in such a way, that I could touch someone like that. Stephen Dobyns’s “Missed Chances.” Edward Estlin Cummings’s poems. Weldon Kees, alas. William Butler Yeats.

Bletcherous URLs.
One of the things I love about the original WikiWiki was that you could look up the thoughts of the community by simply typing a probable title in the CGI query string in the accepted Smalltalk-like convention (i.e., http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?YouAintGonnaNeedIt).
The Comanche Swiki uses numbers as a primary lookup, but you can use probable URLs that will resolve to a close match, which is nice, but may have problems if trying to refer someone to a specific source without the URL on hand.
