[Marxism] Cx - 1965 Daily Californian articles on gays at U.C. Berkeley

[Brian Shannon <brian_shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should have pointed out that when I went on to the Steppenwolf Bar,
I was going to my second job. No, your honor, I never had alcohol
with that lady.

Considering the controversy that these articles stimulated, I am
puzzled by the fact that I was completely unaware of them. However,
this was a politically slow period for me. What I remember most was
getting up late, going to the Mediterranean (still there although run
down and no longer "in", which was even earlier called the Piccolo),
where Don Johnson (no, not that one) picked me up to work for him
building a house in the Oakland Hills, returning to the Med for an
inexpensive Moussaka, if available, on to a political meeting, then
to my job at the Steppenwolf Bar on San Pablo (started and owned by
Max Scheer, later founder of The Berkeley Barb).

I roomed with SWP comrade George Myland (probably since deceased) and
we shared a rent of $50.

No wonder there was always a move by the SWP National Office to clean
out Berkeley and probably San Francisco as well.
