from a Letter to Philip Whalen, March, 1954

". . . Rexroth has stomach trouble and his wife Marthe is pregnant again. But he still happily holds forth on KPFA & has managed to insult virtually everyone in the Bay Area now; he has the university here positively frothing. & a recent flaying of Huxley's Vedanta business and of southern California orientalists has won him a pack of enemies. He said, roughly, 'The only living member of the Huxley family who can think with even moderate clarity is Julian.'"
