I love that episode of Firing Line! I first watched it a couple years ago when I was reading Higgs' "I Have America Surrounded." The episode with Ed Sanders, Kerouac, and some Professor about the Hippies is also very good and a poignant portrait of the by then tattered Kerouac.

Happy RAW Day to everyone! Kallisti!

Vladimir Nabokov (one of my favorite writers) was a big Borges fan. There's a blog posting listing the authors he liked and disliked, and it makes amusing reading (something to cheer or offend everyone)
