From Bruce’s website:
I was born of Catholic and Jewish heritage in Chicago in
1943, and grew up in Southern California in an era of rock
and roll, the Cold War, and the Space Race. From
1961-2001, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, attending
and graduating from the University of California,
Berkeley, while active in the psychedelia and political
protests of the 1960s. (more…)
Phyllis Bottome (1884–1963) was a British novelist and short story writer. Bottome studied individual psychology under Alred Adler while in Vienna, and with her husband (who was secretly MI6 Head of Station with responsibility for Austria, Hungary and Yugoslavia) she opened a language school in 1924 in Kitzbühel in Austria, which was also intended to be a community/educational laboratory to determine how psychology and educational theory could cure the ills of nations (one of their more famous pupils was author Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond). Bottome was an active anti-fascist, and wrote many novels in her lifetime, a number of which were turned into films.
