  1. 'O the Clear Moment' by Ed McClanahan

    ED MCCLANAHAN may be the most unlikely counterculture writer of them all. A Kentucky native, he went to Stanford University in 1962 as a Stegner Fellow, part of a class that included Ken Kesey, Tillie Olson, Larry McMurtry and Robert Stone. He set his writing aside to be a Merry Prankster, finally publishing his first novel, "The Natural Man," in 1983.

  3. Where's Weldon?

    The poet <b>Weldon Kees</b> was born in Beatrice, Neb., in 1914, though what's best known about him is that on July 18, 1955, his car was found abandoned with the keys still in the ignition in a parking lot on the Marin County side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Kees had often spoken of killing himself and had once planned, with James Agee, to write a book on famous suicides; together they came up with a wonderful title, &quot;How-Not-To-and-Why-Not-To-Do-It," though the project came to nothing. Both men were too busy plotting their own deaths.

  6. Documentary tells full story of Hunter S. Thompson

    OF COURSE, there were the drugs. And the drinking. And guns. And more drugs. Given his notorious lifestyle, it can be hard to keep in mind that Hunter S. Thompson was first and foremost a writer, a frontline chronicler of the promise and adventure of the 1960s and the burnout and aftermath of the 1970s.

  10. Chris Tempera, Sayville

    <b>SPORTS:</b> Soccer, baseball. Tempera, a soccer player since he was 4 years old, has been a sweeper on Sayville's varsity team for three years. The All-State and All-Region player helped the Golden Flashes to the semifinals of the Suffolk playoffs this past fall, before falling to Shoreham-Wading River.

"We have a good hitting team."
