Alphia's Omega
Been reading the last year of the Aberree, '64 to early '65. The very last issue answers my initial puzzlement about non-overlap of the Hart social circle and my social circle. The last issue was written by wife Alice, who announced the end of the publication because Alphia had suffered a serious stroke. I still can't find a proper obituary, but it's likely that he died soon thereafter. So by the time I moved to Enid in '70 he was at least out of commission.
Alphia had joined the Hubbard organization in 1952 in an attempt to cure high blood pressure. It didn't work, and clearly nothing else worked either. He might have helped by quitting tobacco, but he didn't get there till '64. Too late.
Hart's thinking on JFK in early '64, chopped and channeled as usual.
Think snowflakes are new? Think blowback is new? Nope. Those concepts were absent from the mass media in '64 and still absent now, but prophetic thinkers like Hart could see it happening. Tumbleweeds and hate-fruit.
His image of tumbleweeds piling up against a fence was especially prophetic.
