Who is Leon Tabory?

Leon Tabory. Cannot remember seeing the name before.

He still writes about the potential benefits of various drugs,
including tobacco. I think the jury has been back in a long time on
that one, and the others seem to have unliving testimony from his
friend Neal and his friend Jack, plus millions of others. I don't
think anything ever resulted from experimenting with pharmaceuticals
other than some serotonin released and much distortion happening.

Interesting that in defense of Neal Cassady he proposes that the
father in the family may be an atavism for back when the kiddies were
threatened by wild beasts. Oh, boy. Tell that to the kiddies.

Also says Neal wasn't a conman, by his definition, because he `gave of
himself.' That's exactly the rationale Joe Dimaggio used to defend
his use of mobs of servile serfs over the years. If one of them
complained of the abuse, he'd say, 'You're here, aren't you?' In
other words, you are in the presence of the Great Dimaggio, and that
should be sufficient.

Is there any record of any time at all when Neal Cassady ever repaid a
single one of all those `loans' he was always asking and receiving of
supporters?

Last note: On The Barn, which was genuinely a sixties holy relic in
Santa Cruz County - and I've never heard it referred to after the
seventies. Mr Tabor saw all kinds of support in more recent years; he
says he'd go downtown in Santa Cruz and folks would come up to thank
him for his part in creating The Barn.

Dubious. I'll bet you could survey all day down on Pacific Avenue
downtown among the teenage and transient junkies and juicers and
tourists today and you would find no one who has any idea what you
mean by The Barn.
