"Widely interesting your
travelog this time (September
issue). Only thing I noticed,
tho, is how restricted in activities all these people admit
themselves to be. You've got
mediums, soothsayers, healers,
parapsychophysicists, re 1 i gionists, and philosophers (andists). What ho? No psychokineticists, radiethesists, parameteorologists, exorcists, and
magicians? Or oracle readers?

effects but don't charge direct
fees. As I was telling a respondent lately, the big objection to magic (sorcery,
etc.) is anarchy/nonconformity.
What authorities can't stop or
even prove is going on -- and
which furthermore is theoretically impossible according to
the official views -- is expectably unsettling to contemplate. But what theoretically
doesn't exist can't possibly
be illegal, can it?" -- Fred
