In January Of 1970, When He Was In The Hospital Following A Severe Heart Attack, The Late Ammon Hennacy (18931970), One Of The Principal Fathers Of The Presentday Radical Movement, Made Three Requests Of His Second Wife, Joan Thomas, Should He Die: (1) She Was To Finish With The Publishing Of The Book He Had Written, The Oneman Revolution In America; (2) She Was To Scatter His Ashes On The Graves Of The Haymarket Martyrs At Waldheim Cemetery In Chicago; And (3) She Was To Write His Biography. The Result Of Her Fulfilling Her Husband&Apos;S Third Request Is Not So Much A Biography (Although It Is That, Too), But Rather An Intimate And Delightful, Albeit At Times Painful, Memoir Of An Offbeat Marriage Where The Husband Was Fortyone Years Older Than His Wife. The Book Is, As Ms. Thomas Puts Its, A Continuation Of The Funthing We Had Going Between Us, Whatever That Means. Well, Whatever Ms. Thomas Means, The Reader Will Discover Along With The Funthing; A Deep Psychological Insight Into A Man Who, With Complete Fearlessness, Was Dedicated To Pacifism And Christian Anarchy To The Point Of Laying Down His Life For His Friends Without Equivocation. And Who Were Ammon'S Friends? Everyone. To Be A Christian Pacifist, It Is Not Enough To Merely Refuse To Fire A Gun At Another Human Being. There Are Many Ways Of Killing A Personwith Slanderous Or Cruel Words, For Example, Or By Provoking Another To A Needless Act Of Violence Through The Use Of One Ownno, Not Nonviolent Protest, But What Is A Kind Of Nonviolent Violence. Ammon Was Not Of This Kind. In His Heart Lay A Genuine Love For Those Who Should Have Been, But Were Not His Enemies, That Is, Those Who Are Responsible For The Wars Of This Immature And Barbaric Century. One Must Learn First To Get Along With Ones Self, Then Fit As A Whole Human Being To Take His Or Her Place In What Hopefully Will Someday Be A Sane Society.
