Turn About Is Fair Play
When I was on the Everglades research team in the 1960s, our office and laboratory were in the Federal Building in downtown Miami, as ugly and unadorned a phallic monolith as you would ever want to (not) see. During the riots that ensued after Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination, Liberty City in Miami was […]

Phil’s Favorite Song Two
The Foggy Dew My wife Janis O’Hara is from an Irish family. In school I once wrote a paper on Eamon de Valera, one of the leaders of the Easter Rebellion. He was next in line to be executed when a new British officer was put in charge who stopped the executions. So again, another […]

Their first Christmas together Nikki wanted a Christmas tree. The family very adamantly told her that we’re […]
History with Phil – Document 1
I am coming across documents in my files which record interesting moments in American history. I think it will justify another series like Travels with Phil. This one is self-explanatory!
My Farewell to Lewis Mumford
He was in fact to pass away just for years later at 95 years old. I knew him when he was in his 70’s and still going strong. I have shared much about him already on the website, but in trying to reorganize a lifetime of writing I came across this letter and wished to […]

The story of Tom voting for Wallace was actually preceded, when I wrote much of this 40 years ago, by a discussion of my political analysis and philosophy during our years as protesting activists in the Sixties. Of course we were all against the war then. It was not until I had gone through my […]
