Burroughs, Mel Brooks, Joe Heller, Kurt Vonnegut, Woody allen, Dad Friedman, and a certain yrs. truly have devoted our entire mature body of oeuvre to (trying) (to do)! God bless these merry lads! and a vote of heavy-duty thanks to them from all of us here on planet Earth for their truly ultra-fab anthol, PERSONS LIVING OR DEAD!" - Terry Southern
