  • Principia Discordia.Pdf
    RAW Intro | Omar Intro | Title Page | Index | Version Notes | INTRODUCTION You hold in your hands one of the Great Books of our century fnord. Some Great Books are recognized at once with a fusillade of critical huzzahs and gonfolons, like Joyce’s Ulysses. Others appear almost furtively and are only discovered 50 years later, like Moby Dick or Mendel’s great essay on genetics. The Principia Discordia entered our space-time continuum almost as unobtrusively as a cat-burglar creeping over a windowsill. In 1968, virtually nobody had heard of this wonderful book. In 1970, hundreds of people from coast to coast were talking about it and asking the identity of the mysterious author, Malaclypse the Younger. Rumors swept across the continent, from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to St. Joe. Malaclypse was actually Alan Watts, one heard. No, said another legend – the Principia was actually the work of the Sufi Order. A third, very intriguing myth held that Malaclypse was a pen-name for Richard M. Nixon, who had allegedly composed the Principia during a few moments of lucidity. I enjoyed each of these yarns and did my part to help spread them. I was also careful never to contradict the occasional rumors that I had actually written the whole thing myself during an acid trip. The legendry, the mystery, the cult grew very slowly. By the mid- 1970’s, thousands of people, some as far off as Hong Kong and Australia, were talking about the Principia, and since the original was out of print by then, xerox copies were beginning to circulate here and there.

The theme of National Preservation Week, 1980 is "Preservation: Reusing America's Energy': and this year is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The message is three-fold: 1) old buildings are a past investment of energy; 2) old buildings can be renovated for greater energy efficiency in their operation, and 3) new technology like solar power, for example, can be used in manv old buildings without destroying their historical and architectural cl--~racteristics. Look downtown this week at the Knights of Pythias Building at 3rd and E, which has housed the Community Arts complex, as a good example of adaptive reuse. Look at the Lyceum and Hor­ ton Hotels -- all freshly painted, and beautifully too. Gaslarnp is blooming, albeit too slowly for some, into a showy flower. All around us we see examples of positive preservation-- both public and private. Paul Thoryk's Soledad Franco Restaurant in the newly renovated Columbia Square is a showplace. Ted Krauss' offices at Front and Fir, an early-on example of preservation in action. Parker Industry's on-going rehabilitation in the spectacular Long­ Waterman House at First & Kalmia, and of course, the lovely new bed and breakfast remodel ­ ling of the Britt House at Fourth & Maple.

  • What Happened to the International Skyride?
    What Happened To The International Skyride? By Barbara Zaragoza In 1959, forty-year-old entrepreneur Allen Parkinson set out to construct a privately funded International Skyride to cross the international border from San Ysidro into Tijuana. He imagined that an aerial transport system would ease automobile congestion at the U.S.-Mexico border and encourage more people to travel to Baja California. His never-realized plans got a hearing from U.S. Congressman Robert “Bob” Wilson and remain in the latter’s collection of papers at San Diego State University. They provide some insight into the way businessmen and politicians conceptualized the border in the middle of the twentieth century.1 Why a Skyride? The idea to build an aerial transport system was original only in that the ride would cross an international border. Passenger-carrying ropeways had existed for centuries. Engineer Wilhelm Albert’s invention of the twisted steel cable in the 1830s helped to advance the technology View from the U.S. side of the border looking into Tijuana. necessary for lifting and A double line of vehicles wait to cross the Tijuana bridge, hoisting tramways.

    16 event in more ways than one. Is anyone here who's ever attended an indoor groundbreaking? (Laughter) And after what journalist have been enduring for the last six weeks. It seems unusual, too, that we should be gathered to honor one of their number. (Laughter) From Baghdad all the way back to (unclear) and Washington, the profession has been kicked around in recent times as seldom before. That could be part because there aren't enough of them like the guy we are talking about this morning. I can see by the age level here that quite a few of you are old enough to remember this man. And I thought outside of Ruth, I'd be the one here who had known him longer than anyone else, but I have to yield to an ex-Hollywood High and UCLA fellow student of Harold Keen's, Mr. Berger, in the front row, who's intimate friendship with Harold's goes back to the 1920's, very obviously. Harold will be remembered principally for his days on television, which he entered in its infancy, not because he was much like what you see in the television news today. I doubt very much and I am sure Ruth would validate this, I just can't believe that Harold ever submitted to a blow dry hair job. (Laughter) His on air manner was not exactly in accord with much of today's happy news. Harold didn't think it too important to be kidded about if he had a flat tire on his way to work that day as they kicked it over from the weather to sports and back to the commentary.
