No amount of New Age synthesis of bad astronomy (astrology), bad corporate style mysticism (e.g. the Transcendental Meditation movement), and bad pop psychology is going to convince me that we’re limited to being the paper mache idols that degree mill-made “Ph.d” Gray erects.

I’m sitting in a writing group. It’s a large group, mostly if not all men, led by a spindly, beak-nosed old man. He calls on an Air Force officer across the room who begins denouncing everyone who doesn’t support the President and the war, looking especially at me. The group breaks up. I walk over to him. “Listen here, Mister,” I say. “This group is for writers. You are to keep politics out of it!” He squares his shoulders. I move right up to his face, look him straight in the eyes. He shrinks and backs down in the wide blue-gray smoke collecting in the floor.
