Samuel Butler II O T E I Timothy Leary’s dead Timothy Leary and I shared a panel presentation in October 1977 at the San Francisco Airport Hilton. The 23rd annual American Astronomical Society’s conference focused on the NASA project of sending ten thousand people to the first space colony, a rotating wheel one hundred thousand miles from Earth. I discussed the design implications of crowdedness, lack of privacy, island fever and Big Brother syndrome, raising the question ol selecting and training the settlers of this space city. “Humbug!” Tim shouted theatrically. He got to his feet, thrusting his fiery face at the audience. “Space is a free territory. No selection! Everybody goes!!” Tony Farrcnkopf, Ph.D. Happiness is WHEEL PRESS, INC.

Given me fields of golden grain waving in the sun: left me with forlorn eyes, naked bellies distended in hunger, nowhere to run. Given me sparkling waters, a blessing to the land: left me with fetid rivers, lakes and oceans once so grand. Given me fragrant breezes tossing flags and tresses: left me with stinking gusts corroding children’s lungs with gases. Given me fire to warm the fragile and to conquer far space: left me with conflagrations, a child crying out in burning, naked grace. Given me vast forests sheltering man and animals' haunting sounds: left me with the means and will to cut them to the ground. to wield control over your affairs to expect gtxxl to keep the faith and accept what is to pursue a goal with zest to connect with love to lighten up and laugh to weave times of sensuous joy to be blessed w ith happy genes Given me love for the brothers of my race: left me with hate for others not so graced.
