I dunno about that one. Could be a stretch. Distinctive, but maybe it is an
established phrase...
That reminds me, I was reading Burroughs' "Nova Express" the other day, and
in the beginning it mentioned (along w/the orgones/Reich, as already
mentioned) Hassan I Sabha. So there's another HW/Burrough's connection...I
don't think anyone mentioned that one yet. Calvert may have
picked all this stuff
up from reading Burroughs...
