One especially brutal use of electro'shock at Vaca'

oérron is shown "homosexual movies" while his penis
is wired. When he becomes sexually'excited, his penis
is shocked. He is then shown "hetrosexual movies";
and rather than shock, he receives positive fÞinforcemànt. Emetics (drugs'which cause nausea) are used
in the same manner as shock treatment. A 'criminall

The following informotion is excerpted from a

Guild at 2't E. Von Buren, Chicago, ttt. O:OOOi,'

The START program's (Special Treatment and Rehabilitative Training) ten page syllabus states thar it is
a program "which will discourage negative behavior
and pessimistic attitudes by the inmate" and that.
"Project Start is an initial effort in that direction and
one_ of
many programs in effect.or contemplated
-the
in the future in state and federal prisons throuþhout

the United States."
. In Stage I convicts are locked up 24 hours per day
(other than a shower once a week), the front of theii
cells are covered with chicken wire, outside visits are
limited to once a month (not on weekends) and mail,
reading material and commissary are severely limited.
lf the prisoner behaves for 30 days, according to some
completely subjective standard, he is then eligible to

advance

to

Stage 2 where his privileges would be
slightly increased. lf the convicts' bèhavior is unsatisfactory he is retained in Stage 1 and the mínimal
"pr.ivileges" that he had in Stage 1 are subject to revocation. Stage 3 gives the inmate more privileges and.
is obtainable after 30 days good behavior in Stage 2.
Finally there is Stage 3A where the prisoner cou-id be

retained indefinitely.

The iiureau of Prison officials in charge of START
have learned however from the mistakes of others.
They are choosing convicts for START very carefully
and transferring them slowly. Prisoners who are transferred to START are moved from Stage 1 tci Stage
2 very quickly, before they.realize thay have somewhat accepted the psychology and princiþle ofthe

After a certain period of time the group conviction

WHO ARE THE REAL CRIMINALS?
EThe Case for Amnesty
)

ince autum n of 1971 the question of amnesty has
óeen the subject ot" considerable public discussion in

by Jack Calhoun
and Dee Knight

ñ

the U.S. For the most part, however, the antiwar
movement and the left have remained silent and allowed the discussion to be dominated by liberals such as
George McGovern and Edward Koch and conservatives
such as Robert Taft and the Nixon administration.
From our position in exile, underground in the States,
or in iails, stockades and brigs, war resisters have.been
at a great disadvantage'in making our case heard sufficiently. ln addition, the largest group to be amnestied,
the half million veterans with less than honorable dis- *
charges, have not been recognized as war resisters, or
as persons labelled for life because they did not fit
properly into the American military machine.
While many if not most of the war resisters in Canada still say they are committed to making Canada

their new home, it is now realized that thore are many
people in exile who cannot stay, and that they will
need to go home to survive.
The fãct that Canada is no longer açcepting aþplications for immigrant status either at points of entry
or from within the country leaves war resisiers "trapped" either in Canada or in the U.S. The circumstances
of exiles in Europe have deteriorated because of high

nesty as part of ending that war, imperotive. Liberals
and conservatives.know this, but their formulas serve
to deny the impoit of amnesty, and to continue punishing war resisters as criminals. Amnesty must not
Ue used to further punish war resisters, or be granted
on the basis of individual moral scruples, but on the
orinciole that the war should not have been fought,
åncl tt"rosr who refused to fight it should. not be punish'
ed.

Amnesty is tied to the question of who are the

Continuation of Anti-War Commitment
For war resisters, the fight for amnesty is a continua-

wiil not be willing to

*The Canadian Government stopped accepting applications

for immigant status from within the country and at border
ooints hJt November 3. It followed this move with, an

ânnouncement on Decembe¡ 28 that the rules on long-term
non-immigtant visitors are lieing tightened' A-lthough there
are ways f-or U.S. war resisters to "get around" these rule-s,
the bhint fact is that Canada is no ionger a viable refuge for
new arrivals, and war reiisters here without immigrant status
are trapped.' This and the situation in Eur-op,e, the mass inãi"tmeïìs at home, and the efforts of the U.S. lepartment of
Defense to restrictin-service C'O.s are explained in detail in
the AMEX for Jan.-Feb. 1.973
Also it has been confirmed by Swedish governtnent sources that Americans self-retiring from the U.S. armed fotces
after the signing of the cease-fire agreement will not be granted oermission to remain in Sweden.
'Sweden,
since 1968, has been the only country in E'{ope
to offer seiure refuge to American exiles, The closing of
Sweden will add coñsiderably to the insecurity of war resisters in France whose conditions of residency in that country
are extremely tenuous and who live under the constant threat
of expulsion. The shift in government policy will also seal'
off Sweden from the many war resisters in Canada who failed
to receive landed immigrant status befo¡e the change¡ in Canadian immigration law made it practically impossible for new
exiles to gàin residence in that country' .

wlN

why our resistance is legitimate.
Both liberal and conservative politicians have understoocl the importance of amnesty in the context of
ãnding the war, and have formulated positions which
match their attitudes on the war and U.S. society.
Thus théy call for "alternate service" - that is, a pen'
altv for criminals, but since war resisters are "criminali with a purpose", it is to be a "pënalty with a puroose" (to quote Congressman Koch). Or, in class-con'
lcious iashion, they sep4rate (through case-by'case
exami nation) pre'ind uction resisters fro m post-i nduction resisters - according to the notion that a person's
decisions based on direct experience are not as good
as those based on religion or formaljeducation.
The point is that the widespread'resistance to the
U.S. war on lndochina has made consideration of am-

real criminals of Ameiica's lndochina era. Are the I
war resisters guilty, or should the murderers gf human
beings, the ecosystem ahd.democracy be brought to
justice? ln addition to the death and destruction they
have wreaked on lndochina, the war planners have
thrown the U.S. into a constitu,tional crisis, and through
the systematic suppressión of .information as document.
ed in the Pentogon Poperq they have cut democracy's
lifeline. Just as these men were not qualified to pass
judgement on the actions of Lt. Calley, neither should
they be allowed to adiudicate and se¡tence people
who actively opposed or resisted participation in
their war. When our real supporters put the issue in
this context, hopefully our iess forthright supporters

unemployment, and none of these countries could be
seriously considered as a permanent refuge for Americ:rn war resisters. ln the States, mass indictments of
outstand i ng draft violatio ns, a nd a possib I e.crack-down'
on in-service applications for conscientious objector
státus, further.exacerbate a bad situation. Thr¡s arnnesty must be understood as an urgent human'needl as
well as a politically valuable issue. *

tion of our anti-war commitment. lt is not that we
are selfishly concerned only with our freedom as
Ãmerican citizens. More important than our individualfates is that Americans must come to understand

acquiesce to demands for alternate service and case-by-case "amnestyt'

ly agreed that each person subject to the draft would
deal with ¡t in his own way, according to his own
moral beliefs, personal needs, family contacts, and
financial capacity. This had the advantage of avoiding difficult political questions which, qt thqt t¡me,

might have divided the resistance from needed support.
Bui it intensified the class and race injustices of the I
draft: middle-class sons had access to draft çounseling through their presence oh university campuseÞ;
and their education and middle-class upbringing
equipped them to articulate the moral position of
"conscientious objector". Added to all the other
means exclusively'available to the nliddle and upper
classes for "dodging" the draft,.this resulted in the
fact that a high percentage of "illegal" war resisters
are black and white working class and poor. Most
important, counseling for loopholes never really got
down to the heart of ttte matter: lhat nobady should
have been forced or deceived into fighting against his
own interests in lndochina.
Beyond this, some basic principles should be understood: for a movement to grow and bç successful, it
must demonstrate that it can take care of its people.
For instance, in militant strikes throughout the his'
tory of capitalism, activists were öften arrested, or ^
fired from their jobs, or weni inio exile to avoid pros'
ecution. An essential demand - as essential as the
main goal of the strike - was the release from iail or
jobs, of
þrosecution, and the reinstatement to their
the militants sidelined in this way. This was based on
the principle,of solidarity, the cornerstone of effective
. resistance and eventual victory.activists visited us
Recently, when some stateside
and we preióed these points, they said it was the first
time they had seriously considered war resisters in
Canada as "members of the movement" about whom
all of us must take interest, and about whom there
c.ould be special political meaning. We suggested
that the special needs of black people and women
could neither be ignored not postponed until after
the war, because these people areot home, whêre
their reality confronts all Americans every day, and
neither blacks nor women would allow the movement
to ignore them. The fact that war resisters underground in the U.S. or exiled abroad are not so visibly
in your midst does not mean that our existence does
not have profound meaning and import tp the resis'
tance and to the whole movement for social change.

The Class Nature of AmnestY
The issue should also be used to dramatize"The fact
that the war and the corporate foreign policy from
which it resulted, were and are obiectively and subjectively against itte immediate and long-term inter-'-.
êsts of ihJmajority of Americans, especially the working class. lt cán bé shown that the r.ole of the working
class, and to a lesser extent the middle class, was to
pay iaxes for the war and send their sons to fight and
ðie ¡n it-wtrile the corporate sector dictafed the
policy and the government kèpt the malority'from
knowing what was going on.
The movement should see amnestV in terms of the
experience of the working class and its needs in both
the immediate and long-term future. This is where
the failure has been up to now. ln the past, the needs
of war resisters have been considered individually, and
in a non-political way - especially through clraft 3nd.
military counseling programs and the like. lt WB tacit'

The Opposition

-

Richard Niðqrl,.Agnew, the American Legion an{
tfre other amnêsiy ôpfonerit's ha.ve said that granting
a non-punitive amnesty would discredit the sacrifices,
of those who did serve, especially those men who lost
their lives or who were injured in lndochina combat.
We must all defend ourselves against this calumny,
and shine the light on the responsible ones, who so
unwisely recall the memory of the men they sent to
early death. At their peril they stir the sorrow and
bitterness of the families of these lost sons, many of
whom already realize that their sons were used and
wasted cynically in a deceitful, criminal enterprise.
As to the survivors, let them speak for themselves.
Vietnam veterans by the thousands have been the first
to place blame for their wounds with the government
war mongers. (Nixon has to invent conspiracies
among thèm in order to silence them!) They are the

LSD SOON TO BE
OVER THIRTY
April 16th this year marks three decades to the day since Alb'ert Hofmann,
a research chemist for Sandoz Pharmaceuticals of Basel, Switzerland, ingested
either through his breath or his skin

ofa yet unknown substance to
project him onto the fìrst "trip" taken
on synthetic Lysergic Acid.
April 19th, three days later in 1943,
is the date on which Hofmann discovenough

ered that the substance that had given
him the amazing effects he had earlier
experienced was lysergic acid diethylamide rarrarare ( LSD-25).
Hofmann had actually discovered .
LSD five years before in 1938, but evidently hadn't had enough physical
contact with the substance to be affected at that time. We stress the dates it
was first ingested as the days of LSD's
discovery, because although the drug
had already been created earlier the
true nature of the molecule was only
perceived after it became linked with
man's psyche.
So far, after a three decade acquaintance with LSD, the total amount consumed is on the order of pounds, not
hundreds of tons, and yet LSD has
made many great changes-if not in the
majority of people (which it hasn't),
in the minds of experimenters who
have had positive responses.
It is said that to date 66 or so billion
people have lived on the earth. Only a
fraction of us thus far have had a
chance to experiemce the wonderous,
lucid, confusing, transforming change
brought to the scope of the m¡nd by
,

I'm sure that the cbmpilers of this catalogue (whoever they
may have been) neVer did think that they were producing a
book burif the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG is a book then,

nows.

It wos sprîiig in Povloltiaø-o,
I wos lost, in o moze, . .

by golly, this is too.
The idea for this review first came to me when one day
Susan asked me where she might get somp good books on
lettering and calligraphy. The first rhing lhat popped into
my head was to lqok in the Dover catalógue (and believe
me that's not the only one that we have around here at r
Wl N) and sure enough under the listing 1'Lettering, Printing,
Graphic Arts, Calligraphy" I found ten different books. We
ordered a couple and they turneu out to be jus?fine. All
were good basic texts that are bound (literally and figura-

tively) to last for years.
What makes the Dover'catalogue unique

is

that there are

sented.
One of the really nice things about the Dover Catalogue

is that they try not to hype the books but'rather they attempt to give a fair and honest description which makes the
caralogue irself, like the l,lHoLE EARTH GATALOG, a
very enjoyable tool even if you are never going to do any of
the things that it's about.

Among these esoteric topics there's a iot of good stuff

the accursed thing.

"A voice from some cell too distant for us to locate intones: 'l am blessed Metatron. I am keeper of the Secret.

I am guardian of the Throne. . . ."' Metatron, heavenly
scribe, whose name is the closest echo of YHYH-ah, at last
lT'S getting serious! But no, MetatrÒn, God's personal
guardian, becomes instead a nak-ed whipgirl in black boots
from whose ass Brigadier Pudding, the senile head of The
White Visitation, gulps hot turds. Low parody of rabbinic
theosophy, Heaven become its Opposite-her vagina as holy
grail, its mystery withheld from the Brigadier as he gazes at
clear, golden pissdrops clinging to glossy black hairs. Spellbinding pigfiction again-why are the sex scenes so much
more memorable than the comedy setpieces? $omething
straightforward about the blackness of evil. While the comic chases are like Richard Strauss straining away with a hundred brass instruments and not getting an inch offthe earth.
It's just when the novel stops straining for comedy that it's
most binding, when its fantastic authenticity of locale gets
free rein, the story liberated and gripping.
Also, when lT spells out the levels of paranoia in the superbeast, the War, its deathmilk suckling The Rocket. lT
shows world-paranoia in a series of transparencies as if revealing deeper and deeper cutaway innards of The Rocket.
We see paranoía working in the Beyond (the two angel
guardians, the white light), in cartels, in war offices, in characters, and even in Pointsman the Pavolvian's animal specimens who come on like wiseacres out of Bugs Bunny with
gangster rat-lingo from Big House movies. Perhaps lTgets
down to paranoia of anpeba and molecules and plant lifewill I ever know? Hard to say, I put the damned thing
down at page329. Should I finish I'll write Part ll of this
review, but as of now my interest has dwindled to a trickle.
I've a terrible conviction that I'll kick myself black and blue
if I finish this monster and find lT really wasn't wbrth the

plowing. The last chapter's not promising-just more

scis-

sors and paste and pot.
But perhaps that humming will start again, the ruby eye
draw me back-lT has compelled me before. Sublime moments kept me reading for 329 pages. The marvelo.us candyeating scene filled with ammoniac British sweets had me
gasping and tearing-l even went back and read it aloud be-

tween fits-a scene as funny as anything ever printed anywhere by anybody. .Spurts of philosophical speculation
make the reading seem entirely worthwhile, but they get
farther and farther apart. ITS scream fades in whimsy, ITS
deathlove in burlesque. lT works up stupendous horror,
where a pregnant vüidow boiling a rat would be more moving.
The Rocket's evil is imaginative (it draws me back again
and again), and l've never seen paranoia so cosmically exhausted as a subject. But I find an inhuman attention to
14 WtN

artifice selfdefeating. Mv spirit tells me art must serve and
beget more spirit. The wistful little prayer about the Elect
and the Preterite with which lT ends scarcely balances the
waste and sw-eets of black humor sapping me senseless (and
headachy) for hours on end. 9n. r¡¡-paãe hymn to the Battle of Britain, starting on page 130'(,'. . . . lisîen: this is the
War's evensong, the War's canonical hour. . . . Advent blows
from the sea. . . ."), sings with such deeprunning detail and
exalted homeliness that I longed for another such outburst.
I get dispiriting pop songs and clever limericks that don,t
try for enough. There's no manurey, fertile richness to ITS
pricksongs and pussysongs, no hot, sweet obscenity-just
college lechery, chic s¡nut, mental tapdancing.
Henry Miller once published a 1,000-page book on
"Hamlet" while never having read the play. Perhaps 329
pages out of 760 is an unfair test-l might igriore my early
warning system altogether and finish lT, if only in hope of
finding another counter-tenor aria to match the Advent
hymn above. But, for the moment, matchless gran{iosity
doesn't stir me. I remain bound by The Rocket, but :
strengthless; bound by the scientific detail, drained by the
drugs; bound by genius, clogged with waste pages. .foyce
himself went "beyond 'Ulysses"'-l'm only halfway
through "Finnegans Wake." For now, I feel that "Gravity's
Rainbow" would be a far more lifegiving accomplishment, a
fulfillment of Pynchon's plenty, if it exposed an.unarguable
spinal purpose instead of constantly splitting off into atomizations of fantasy-though these endless atomizations aie
the purpose. What starts as a powerful visiorfof evil becomes a vast series of defenses against ever getting into focus and allowing us to see the false bottom in the trick hat.
The novel's theme does not lieat all heavily upon me-l feel
more evil everyday in my casual conversation than I experience in these tissuings of hell. ln the Rocket's climactic
flight to âbsolute zero at theNorth Pole, with Gottfried
the Sacrifice inside, his Robe a fruity and aromatic plastic'
called lmipolex G, the novel at last escapes from its own defenses, and from "God's" incompetence, stup¡dityr cruelty,
vileness, sloth and hopeless inhumanity, rising in a"de¡ilhlaugh of manic triumph about as chilling as Satan's in Dis-

neyland.
