Paul Krassner, besides being a child prodigy musician, a funny stand up comic, an outrageous satirist and founder and editor of the Realist, sometimes described as "the first underground newpaper", and a great friend to many great people, is also one of the key Sixties activist anthropologists who was present and involved with just about every important juncture of the cultural revolution. To this fellow participant observer, he was/is a model culturally aware activist and unlike most anthropologists, he was and is funny. Best of all Paul is still going strong into the new--rapidly aging-- millenium
Reading Paul's stories in "Murder" about his fascinating Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties, friends--Lennie Bruce, Steve Allen, Abbie Hoffman, John Lilly, Ken Kesey, Jerry Garcia, Ram Das, and best of all, other fabulous people you haven't heard of- is like sharing a great bottle of Burgundy wine or some fine grass. Read this book...
PS. (The Seinfield viagra scenario is hilarious--Classic Krassner.)

Foot tells the story well combining a wealth of evidence of their innocence with a journalist's readability. The story as it unfolds is a depressingly familiar one of the police constructing the case for the prosecution by prematurely concluding investigations into alternative lines of enquiry. The defendants were all small-time local criminals and it was all too easy for the police to believe the worst of them. That is commonplace enough but what followed is what makes this case a particularly instructive one. Foot shows how the police and prosecutors, convinced of the righteousness of their cause, forged confessions and concealed exculpatory evidence to ensure that the defendants were convicted.
As evidence of their innocence mounted over the years, so public concern grew until by the time of their release there had been six separate police inquiries, two hearings before the Court of Appeal and the case had been referred back to the court twice by the Home Secretary. What was almost as bad as the prosecutorial misconduct was the dogged determination of the courts to uphold the convictions in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. We may well ask ourselves - why do courts behave like this?

An intimate, unique viewpoint on the history of the automobile, as fun as a fast drive down the German Autobahn- with no speed limit!
So many Molokai people and special places are immortalized in his pictures including slack key guitarist Kelii Mawae, fisherman extraordinaire and noni farmer. I read and gaze at this book over and over and never tire of it. It reconnects me with Molokai.
Enjoy! And if you are interested in ancient history of this powerful place, I suggest 'Tales from the Night Rainbow' by Pali Jae Lee and Koko Willis.
