Who is the most infamous person you've met?

[zentrum]

174. Timothy Leary

Twice. The man Nixon once called "the most dangerous man in America".

Wound up for the day though various circumstances at Millbrook. There he was, sitting in one of the teepees, smoking a pipe and drinking tea--- acted very business like.

The second time, I was part of a research team at Soledad State Prison (yes, really) and there he was, talking to a young very pretty woman---dressed in a long full skirt. He looked terrible, had prison pallor, looked haggard, drained and watery. We drove her back back to the city. I forget her name. Maybe this was Rosemary--not sure.

Used to see Jerry Brown, just before he declared for Governor the second time---running, alone, around Lake Merritt in Oakland. He was dogged, really trucking along, no body guards. I knew then, watching him, that he had the will to win.

Saw Bruce Willis, whom I consider infamous, because of his right wing politics---in a white muscle shirt, having lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in NYC. He does have that movie star glow--but very very vain---making sure everyone in the room noticed him.

Saw Sean Penn at a teach-in about 9/11. Kind of a "bad boy". Tried to catch the eye of every good looking woman in the room.
