PAP - Prediction of the week for Sunday this first of June in the year of our Abbie Hoffman, Nineteen Ninety Seven: "MMMBop" by Hansen will be one and a half times the smash hit that "Achey Brakey" as sung by Billy Ray Cyrus was because it contains 50% more chords. That's right; God as my witness. "MMM..." contains an A, a D and an E; whereas "Ackey..." can only claim an A and an E. Any more would have made his heart blow up I guess. Of course the Hansen boys have everyone's hearts right this moment because they sound like the Jackson 5ive before, during AND after Michael's twice weekly estrogen treatments. I'm prime anarchist and that's my opinion. AND THIS IS ATI 80. "I wish the whole world was a hardwood floor." -- Jeremy Sample. May 30, 1997. Knock knock. Who's there? Desdemonia. Desdemonia who?

Give us time. 80 issues. Þ HOFFMAN'S BICYCLE RIDE: An ATI Wade Davis excerptview by Prime Anarchist. 1943. Albert Hoffman made the 25th manipulation of LSD derivatives when he noticed his fingers tingle. He thought it odd so he hopped on his bicycle and rode home hoping to rest. One of the most momentous bicycle rides in history. He later chose to WALK home after trying 42 mushrooms. Wade Davis recounted this story in an NPR interview this year about his Harvard professor Richard Evan Shultes, who 4 years ahead of Hoffman had found LSD's natural analog in a sacred Aztec plant. If you're not sure where you know Wade Davis' name from, he wrote "Serpent and The Rainbow." Rather than publish a whole transcript, I'm going to "dot" the next 5 or 6 ATI's with a few short but quite profound Davis quotes.

GANG JOURNALISM. (parts taken from June '97 Spy Magazine. (read the whole!)) "My first memory of gymnastics dates from 1972, when at age 11 I was ensorcelled by the spectacle of Olga Korbut- that 88 pound, rearview mirror dingle-dangle of a girl- exposing ass, then lack-of-tit, then ass again, as she revolved end-over-end across the mat. The Munich Games may have been marked by a hideous terrorist outrage, but for my febrile 11-year old sexuality, the hostage taken was my quivering little prick. Looking now at photographs of Korbut, I find it impossible to recreate any sense of sexual attraction. Rather, I feel like Hunter S. Thompson's Samoan attorney: "Why should I fuck children? They're too small."" -- Will Self. Page 45. (read the whole story. get it in context, I urge you. (no I don't owe Spy favors!!!) Men, women, others, you will all appreciate it. Guarantee.)

Nature makes a perfect counterideal to technology for several reasons. Nature... is the opposite of technology... Most people will agree that nature is beautiful; certainly it has tremendous popular appeal. The radical environmentalists ALREADY hold an ideology that exalts nature and opposes technology... It is not necessary for the sake of nature to set up some chimerical utopia of any new kind of social order. Nature takes care of itself: It was a spontaneous creation that existed long before any human society, and for countless centuries many different kinds of human societies coexisted with nature without doing it any excessive amount of damage...
