Friends Curious

Notice that fellow with the palm crushing the guffaw off his gob on the portal photo above, stage left. He is one of the most erudite collectors of rare books in Ireland and championed an anarchist campaign, in his impatience for common politics, to elect a toothless man of the streets  for mayor of the Second City-- Bernie Murphy, "the People's Champion!" -- and made sure the campaign won. But to get it lined up just right,  Raymondo brought Bernie to San Francisco to fall under  the auspices of the second-most anarchistic journalist in America, Warren Hinckle (Castro's confessor) with a team of boxer dogs to scout out the best set of fake teeth to be had in California at that time. The mayor Feinstein presented them with a check for $1 million, but that bounced.
