Thorne,
I have in my hands a 6 page list (with a cover page)
of Ghettoistas and Ghetto sympathizers, 82 names
in all, apparently compiled in 1964.
(Parenthetically the pyschiatrists' report on the collective
psychology of Ghettoistas which you reproduced made
amusing reading).
As it was not reproduced in the Texas Observer archive,
you must not have seen our list.
Unfortunately, there are at least a half a dozen current
subscribers to AGL who are named and you would
have had to ask permission of all of them to reproduce
the list.
Reading over the names again, I wonder if the Wayne
Smith on this list would be the same ole codger who
lives near Bastrop and who left this list in a huff?
Also who is Helen Yarborough? She is identified as
"sexually promiscuous" by the guy in the white socks
who infiltrated the Ghetto partays. Sometimes
redundancy is ever-so-telling. For example, the first
line of Gay Talese's immortal classic Thy Neighbor's
Wife, reads "She was completely naked!"
