I wasn't expecting to find another Bern Porter manuscript in the
bottom of a box in the closet. It's funny what you can tell about
a man by the pages he cuts out of magazines or finds in someone's
trash when they're not looking. Find in Bern what Bern found in it.

television, worked on the Manhattan Project and the Saturn V rocket,
and made the acquaintances of Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Werner von
Braun; published Henry Miller, Kenneth Patchen, and Kenneth Rexroth,
among others, and knew Gertrude Stein, Anais Nin, Allen Ginsberg, and
anyone else you might name; exerted a profound influence on the
phenomenon known as mail art; traveled hundreds of thousands of miles
on cruise ships; was married three times, once happily; spent several
years in Guam; was an irascible crank; theorized a union of art and
science called Sciart; was briefly committed to a mental institution;
wrote more than 80 books, including important bibliographies of Miller
and F. Scott Fitzgerald; had a massive FBI file; lived and worked in
Rhode Island, New York, Tennessee, California, Texas, Alabama; also
Guam and Tasmania; at last settled in Belfast, Maine, where he ran for
governor, served on the Knox County Planning Commission, called his
