Briefly

WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS

William S. Burroughs was an artist and gun collector who passed away in 1997. He was an early mentor of Timothy Leary and remained an inspiration and friend till the end of Leary’s life.

Tim Leary changed the world, and with cool courage faced detractors who were often hysterical. He never lost the poise and dignity that comes from total sincerity.

He emerges as one of the most influential figures of the century. It may be another century before he is accorded his rightful stature. Let his detractors shake their heads, a hundred years from now.

I am proud to have been Tim Leary’s friend over many years.
