........ '-. A vacation gone to South Bend with Tom, lying in a strange attic without an alarm clock to tell me the time to get up and go to the station. The cat wakes up first and pushes her nose in my face letting me know she's hungry. Yowling downstairs to flowers out the ..window', in the neighbor's yard. Long haired people moving into quiet streets and antique houses. The cops just chew gum and a non-frenetic, middle-aged, female real estate agent is anxious to make an artists' colony out of South Bend--a new La Conner. It looks like a good place to live. Tom ( last night) volunteers to be KRAB's Publicity Director creating minor explosions of confusion and inconsistency to lighten the load of those poor people who have to get out a dull newspaper everyday. And ~ plans for benefits, experimental environments; Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs with an 'appropriate; cast. The , station. This first night away was a series of im­ pulses to turn on the radio that went away with sleep and came back in the morning. Hitchhiking on the road to Portland. Overcast skies, walking by the ocean, a pack on my back; no one stopping, SUSP1Cl0US looks from people in campers and Pontiacs. They're gone without anger, slamming by with allY right to be alone, not knowing me, long hair in the wind. Later at an intersection, after one ride, a light metallic-blue new Chrysler with a Texas license plate slows for me. A well dressed softly fat lawyer in the Northwest looking for a resort or hotel to buy and move away from Texas with. "Texas for me , is ' a place of little interest and mild prejudice." ' He's , quiet for a moment, per­ haps disliking my Texas put-down, but just tells me again how much he liked Seattle. The conversation ends in KRAB; I explain what iwe're ,trying to do, expose its novelties and finish by saying what is most on mY ,mind, that I don't know how or if we're going to be able to make it financially. A wry smile from him, "You really raise Hell eh?" Trent--his name--Trent goes on, "Sounds like my friend Ed. He started this magazine in California, we've been good friends since we were seven, we disagree a lot. But anyway, he started this magazine, spread the stock around and a while ago they got in a disagreement and fired him. Ed has a $278,000. sui t going against them for it now, a real mes s. " "What magazine?," I ask. "Ramparts, you ever hear of it?" & smiling and making inner remarks to myself , .a?~ut h~\y" ~t ran, ge and com- , plex'-i't is' -to hitchhike I say, , "Yes . Sure; of course I ' ve heard of, Ramp§l.;r:t ,~ . Is "Ed' Ed 'Keaiing?" ' He ' says yes and is 'amused to hear"Tl:i:at- Rairiparts is· wide­ ly sold in Seattle and well known. :'I1'n'l Texas," he says , ~~, the re're ,probably three stores that sell it." ' , "But what was the disagreement over?" "Well," Trent says, "Ed thought the magazine would go broke if it kept on going like it was. It just kept incurring deficits, somehow it had to pull out. He said he was going to change it so it would make some money. It had to break even. Ed said he would; they said he wouldn't and since they had more votes, they fired him." "I've really always wondered how Ramparts could make it." "Well, it was Ed's money you know. And his wife's, she's filthy rich," laugh, "that's what you need--your KRAB--you need a filthy rich wife." An hour before I left, the mail opened the unexpected loss of a ' 69 grant for KRAB from the Washington State Arts Commission.
