One of Adam's favorite quotes is:"'JEALOUSY, CRUEL AS THE GRAVE, LOVE, STRONG AS DEATH!'
Song of Solomon
'PRESENT TENSE4ETERNAL TRUTH ONLY!
JUSTIFY PRESENT TENSE NEGATIVES!'
Hopis & me, after much meditation in the mid-80's on the Theory of Relativity, the fact that the verb "to be" exists in the present Hebrew as "being" only (no "is", "am" or "are" in God's vocabulary), and the structure of the HOPI language as revealed by Benjamin Wharf's fabulous insights in "Language, Thought & Reality."
'THE LORD LOVES A COMPLEX SENTENCE!' is another of my deductions.
'THE GLORY OF GOD IS INTELLIGENCE!' &
'[Wo]MAN IS THAT [S]HE MIGHT KNOW JOY,' are the most famous of Mormon aphorisms.".
More about Adam:"Greetings from a Cave near MacArthur Park! That's Jack London above, a hero of mine. I'll show my own face when I finish taking off the varnish (sun damage) of more than 20 years of huarache-dancing, no river or beach visits, just our lake for water!
San Marino High School student body president; STANFORD bonfire chairman, B.A., Political Science; research assistant, May 1971 RAMPARTS magazine cover story 'The New Opium War' revealing CIA control of heroin through Air America in LAOS; organizer, defense team & evidence, PENTAGON PAPERS federal criminal trial; national coordinator, COMMITTEE 2 SET ASIDE THE 1972 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION federal class-action lawsuit challenging NIXON's re-election on behalf of UNITED FARMWORKERS, VIETNAM VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR, BLACK & GREY PANTHERS, 8,000 individual plaintiffs from every state; national organizer, NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD; typographer, ROLLING STONE, ESSENCE & INTERVIEW magazines, NYC college newspapers, ASSOCIATION OF HISPANIC ARTISTS (NYC).
After I retired from the National Office of the National Lawyers Guild in September 1975 (having had responsibility for military, prisons, northeast&southeast US regions, finance, national meeting summaries, congressional testimony & publishing), the FBI Director wrote me2say it was2dangerous2release any part of my file after August 1973, yielding 4 pages from LA office concluding (after Pentagon Papers victory) I appeared2be no threat, UNLESS I WENT2WORK FOR THE LAWYERS GUILD! Nothing further released after my arrival in New York just before the coup in CHILE (warned in advance on flight!). Threats of ex-con TAI D'AMATO against me prompted my seeking better protection than lawyers could provide, finding in my own building the heroic PRINCE OF GAMBINO, 'Mattie' (inspiration4Robert deNiro's TAXIDRIVER, founder of Colombian connection) on probation. (Mattie's mom was girlfriends with wife of CARLO GAMBINO, last undisputed 'Godfather' of 5 Families, his dad head of construction4CARVEL, son of a carpenter who supervised building the majority of ice cream parlors east of the Mississippi! Mattie's dad showed me what real mercy&compassion were, reminded me so much of my grampa in looks&manner, Adam S. Bennion, 1st apostle named by David O. McKay, 1st mormon 'prophet' with no personal memory of Brigham--76 years after Brigham died!--but poor gramps only lived another 5 years, & rightwing Bircher EZRA TAFT BENSON would survive it seemed4ever, poor world indeed4that!)

eam, thus taking on CARMINE GALANTE, most powerful criminal in US from BONANNO--of the 'Godfather' movie--of 5 Mafia Families)! Serious spinal injury, fall 1978. New York life over (which I thought would never end--I'd told Mattie that, owing2my mormon specialness, the feds would have2take our side in a mafia war, which turned out2be true, but neither of us ever imagined surviving & not being heroes, certainly not just more surveillance & economic squeeze on top of my injury! Not even the best, Mattie, could take it more than a few months, finally saying our friendship was 'getting2be a bit heavy' on him. How you gon' stick around the City when the Prince say that, like you gon' find a better. He knew I never would, advising I make a deal with these monsters. I make up4this loss by being Mattie&Me, gaze into distance&hope2share just some of my blessings with my hardheaded City! I loved every piece of promo I saw about BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN--still haven't seen--the views & more we anticipated sharing someday long ago never happening. Beautiful dreamland, those mountains, brave brothers dreaming&fighting4peace, freedom&romance, everyone hoping I'd get the girl2!) [Somebody's finally written about him in his own name MATTHEW BERTOLINI, & you can find last summer's snapshot of Lower East Side monologue revealing him just a bit by googling.]
As acting president of Los Angeles Union of Homeless led 1987 campaign establishing URBAN CAMPGROUND. (It was my public bath, sweeping & reefer consumption, plus huge violent crime downturn whole year downtown, that led despised DARYL GATES to madness--as intended, he a friend&admirer of my father, still living then--'they should shoot casual drug users!' said he before Congress & world aghast, none knowing2whom he referred. His son? Now you know!) Since 1988 have lived in&served the community of MacArthur & LaFayette Parks, RAMPART DIVISION, El Salvadoran & Central American capitals of North America.
As a NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLAR (with 800 MATH SAT & instruction from Nobel Laureate creator of transistor), I have assembled what I consider2be the greatest single page in creation regarding the acquisition of language arts skills. I look forward2sharing it better with world, as I first received vital linguistic revelation in 1978! (See esp. 'INTELIGENCIA: Verbos Ligados' in 'Linguistics' album)
In my cut-short autobiography "Avenging Newel", I reveal a private joke of mine regarding my beloved & sexual desire. I noted I had never been in a threesome, but that she'd have to bring a young indian with her if she wanted to find out how a man should be loved, as if to say, you don't know, I don't want to talk about it, but I will show you how. I also find the humor in my being certainly THE most fortunate of polygamous BRIGHAM YOUNG's descendants (his eldest son's eldest son my grandmother's father, 1st mormon WestPoint grad), with the eyes of my beloved, probably having more fun & success than she (the wife of a Hollywood star 25 years her senior). So to all my friends lucky enough to have children, here's the happy part from me: I want to seduce all your available sons, meaning 18-24. There, I've said it. Are we still friends? I took a bullet to my left lung in a home invasion attack October 2003 (after which the Rampart detectives lied to my prosecutor in order to allow the architect of the crime to go free!), such an event forcing me to begin to reveal more while I am still able. Forgiven?
