I have a law degree (Stanford, 66') but have never practiced. Instead, from 1967 through 1977, I tried to contribute to the revolution in America. As unsuccessful as everyone else over that decade, in 1978 I went to work for the U.S. Forest Service in San Francisco as a Clerk-Typist, GS-4. I was active in the USFS's union for several years, including a brief stint as editor of The Forest Service Monitor, the nationwide voice of the Forest Service in the National Federation of Federal Employees. Howsoever, I now believe my most important contribution while editor of the F.S.M. was bringing to the attention of F.S. employees the fact that the Black-Footed Ferret was not extinct; one had been found in 1980 on a national forest in the Colorado. In 2001 I retired from the USFS after attaining the age of 60 with 23 years of service. Stanford University was evidently unimpressed with my efforts to make USFS investigative reports of tort claim incidents available to tort claimants (ie, "the public"), alleging the negligence of a F.S. employee acting in the scope of his/her duties caused their damages, under the Freedom of Information Act. Oh well. What'cha gonna do?

A Pictorial Essay - Abstract Expressionism versus Geometric Expressionism I keep changing my mind about my favorite school of modern painting: I go back and forth between Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism. Like when the Stones and the Beatles were coming out with new albums every six months in the 1960's - my favorite group was whichever one I'd heard the latest good stuff by.

Seven Miscellaneous Photographs Taken Before 1968 by Imogen Cunningham. I've said that photography is not art, but it was when it was new. In a time long ago when most of the great American photographers were men: Ansel Adams, Carleton Watkins, Ed Weston, and others - which was late in the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th. But there was one woman too.

Seven More Modern Cubist Paintings by the Incomparable Ben Schonzeit My first OEN article featuring Schonzeit's cubistic paintings garnered eight comments. That was a lot of comments for an arty article but less than fitting considering the artist is living and has such unusual and unparalleled talents. Enjoy !

An Appreciation of the Book “Kennedy and the Promise of the Sixties” by W. J. Rorabaugh This book should have been titled “Kennedy and the Promise of the Kennedy Sixties” because it is basically a history of prominent social, cultural and political developments during JFK's almost 1,000 days in office as 35th President of the United States.

The Political Economy of Secrecy Information is power. In a society organized according to principles of rationality and justice, information will be universally available and widely diffused, permeating the social order with power. In a society organized according to capitalist principles, information will be concentrated in the hands of a ruling class and its agents, augmenting and even displacing the force required to maintain capitalist inequities.

Back in the dark ages when I attended Stanford Law School (from 1963 to 1966), several members of my class played guitars, most of us not professionally, and some of us - like Wylie and me - not very well. But we kept playing (or in my case "trying"). My fave performer after the Beatles and the Stones and Dylan and Baez was Rambling Jack Elliot and the only song I remember finger-picking was his "Railroad Bill.
