[AGL] I have in my hands a list of 82 names

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Thorne,

I believe that this list was unearthed or shaken loose
by Sarah Clark Moriaty when she was working
at UT, i disremember its aetiology. You might ask Dave M if he can supply 
more details.

I don't know its legal status or in what sense it is
a "public document." Copies of it were xeroxed
and distributed at one or another Ghetto Re-onion.

I am bi-curious as to who Helen Yarborough might
be. Perhaps she has written up her amorous encounters
with Ghettoistas committed under the influence of
peyote and folk music.

Mike

Mike,

I'd like to see it.  Wonder whose files it came from.  What did the cover 
say?   The stuff onlike should be everything from Hamilton's files, but we 
had to work fast in dallas with two scanners, etc, something could have been 
missed.  Nothing in Hamilton's files requires permission because it's 
public.

Thorne,

I have in my hands a 6 page list (with a cover page)
of Ghettoistas and Ghetto sympathizers, 82 names
in all, apparently compiled in 1964.

(Parenthetically the pyschiatrists' report on the collective
psychology of Ghettoistas which you reproduced made
amusing reading).

As it was not reproduced in the Texas Observer archive,
you must not have seen our list.

Unfortunately, there are at least a half a dozen current
subscribers to AGL who are named and you would
have had to ask permission of all of them to reproduce
the list.

Reading over the names again, I wonder if the Wayne
Smith on this list would be the same ole codger who
lives near Bastrop and who left this list in a huff?

Also who is Helen Yarborough? She is identified as
"sexually promiscuous" by the guy in the white socks
who infiltrated the Ghetto partays. Sometimes
redundancy is ever-so-telling. For example, the first
line of Gay Talese's immortal classic Thy Neighbor's
Wife, reads "She was completely naked!"
