Neal Cassady & I went upstairs to attic at Millbrook estate near Poughkeepsie, big house where Tim Leary’s Castalia Foundation was then experimenting with psychedelic DMT, a half hour trip. Here Neal rests with eyes closed watched over by Susan Metzner in charge of holding the vial of clear liquid, just injected. I’d driven up from N.Y. with Kesey’s Merry Pranksters in their bus, Fall 1964.

The Baseball Fever - Baseball is like a tribal custom. There is ritual and worship, the players become gods, and the ball an idol. Following a long high ball at the Milwaukee stadium. Note the baseball player pin on the blouse of an intent fan.
