When cops ran amok in Washington Square Park in April 1961, one of those they arrested was H. L. "Doc" Humes, novelist, inventor, and raconteur. He'd already been jailed recently for his outspoken support of the hepcat comedian Lord Buckley. He would go on to be an LSD pioneer withTimothy Leary, among many other things.
