Be careful with Gould. Much of his work has been tainted by his fraud and political radicalism.

Yes, he is very dangerous, I agree. But he is also a genuine genius... Read this book and you will see him deflate all the old imperial theories of white & Western cultural / racial supremacy, one by one. And there are many many scientists to overthrow! He does an admirable job...

There is only one race, the human race. And no such a thing as an IQ... Enjoy!

With the ice broken we all began to get to know one another. There were no pretentious charades or aloofness in their behavior toward me whatsoever. Edward gently pulled me aside and said, “You know, Scotty, a lot of people have told me about you, long before Wally and I came to California. Albert, Peter, Brian, and Cecil all said that I ought to look you up when we got here.”

He was referring of course to our mutual friends, his host Arthur Brown, as well as Peter Bull, Brian Desmond Hurst, and Cecil Beaton. He went on to tell me how highly they had all spoken of me to him in London and how much he had been looking forward to meeting me. It was obvious that his relationship with those four men transcended mere platonic friendship. This became patently clear less than twenty minutes later when he and I slipped into the guesthouse at the bottom end of the large garden, stripped off, and began making out. Eddy was good. Really good. He sucked me off like a pro.
