WHEN MUHAMAD ALI REFUSED TO GO TO WAR HE SAID THIS:

“I don’t hide from recruiting. I don't burn flags I'm not escaping to Canada I'm staying right here. Do you want to send me to jail? Okay, go ahead. Been In Jail 400 Years. I can be another four or five more, but I will not go 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die here, now, fighting you, if I want to die. You are my enemy, not Chinese, not Vietcong, not Japanese. You are the one who opposes me when I want freedom. You are the one who opposes me when I want justice. You are the one who opposes me when I want equality. Do you want me to go somewhere and fight for you? Not even here in America you defend my rights and beliefs. You don't even defend me here at home."

Muhammad Ali.

“It’s too bad she won’t live. But then again, who does?”

Jack Kerouac the last time he visited my apartment 704 East 5th Street, Lower East Side. Gregory Corso was with him, he looked just like his late Father (described in The Town and the City his first novel) - corpulent red faced W. C. Fields shuddering with mortal horror, grimacing on D.M.T. psychedelic I'd brought back from Timothy Leary's Millbrook Commune, Fall 1964.

Happy Escape Day, Tim
