FRANK ZAPPA LYRICS
“Camarillo Brillo”
She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin’ out along her head,
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red
She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn’t done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn’t come in
(I couldn’t come in right then . . . )
And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An’ I’d just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She stripped away
Her rancid poncho
An’ laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An’ it was useless any more
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn’t done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn’t come in
(actually, I was very busy then)
And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An’ I’d just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
Well, I was MAX BORN agent Frank Zappa
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps (of the S.I. Hayakawa abstraction ladder)
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She stripped away

Aug 5, 2015 – Ex-NYPD detective gets 2 years in West Side Highway biker assault case … State Supreme Court Judge Maxwell Wiley said revenge, pure and …
The prosecution and defense summed up their cases on Friday in the trial of an undercover New York police detective and another man accused of being among several motorcyclists who beat up a driver during a raucous biker rally in September 2013.
The defendants, Detective Wojciech Braszczok, 34, and Robert Sims, 36, an electrician, have been charged with gang assault and other charges in connection with the attack on Alexian Lien, who was dragged from his Range Rover and pummeled while his wife and infant daughter were in the car.
Both men have waived their right to a jury, and Justice Maxwell Wiley of State Supreme Court in Manhattan is deciding the case. He has said he will give his verdict on Tuesday. Nine other bikers have pleaded guilty to assault in the case.
The confrontation between Mr. Lien and the motorcyclists, who were all riding together in a rally organized on the Internet, started on the West Side Highway around 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 29, 2013. The swarm of bikers forced the car to stop and surrounded it. Mr. Lien said he felt threatened, accelerated and ran over a biker, crushing his spine.
More than a dozen bikers — among them Detective Braszczok and Mr. Sims — pursued the Range Rover to Wadsworth Avenue and 178th Street, where they broke the windows, dragged him from the car and pummeled him. The episode was recorded on a helmet camera and an iPad belonging to other bikers.
The videos and photographs show Detective Braszczok never laid a hand on Mr. Lien, but he did break the back window of the car and kick the passenger side twice before getting on his motorcycle and fleeing.
The detective testified that he never intended to hurt Mr. Lien and retreated because he saw the assault and was in fear for his own life. He said he lashed out at the window with his fist after it was broken by a projectile, which he thought had been hurled from inside the car.
Mr. Sims can be seen on the videos trying to pull Mr. Lien’s wife from the car, then walking around the back of the vehicle and stomping on Mr. Lien.
In his closing argument, the lead prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, said there was no question about what the off-duty detective did that day, only his intent.
“He was not acting alone; he was acting with the pack,” Mr. Steinglass said. “He was acting out of pure rage, not police tactics as the defendant would have you believe. And his actions helped fuel the frenzy that was taking over.”
But the detective’s lawyer, John Arlia, said his client had no clue the other bikers were going to assault Mr. Lien and did not see them as they dragged Mr. Lien from the car. Nor did he know who was in the car when he heard a pop and thought something had been thrown through the back window.
“He got spooked and scared,” Mr. Arlia said. “He had no idea what was going on.”
Mr. Sims’s lawyer, Omar Almanzar-Paramio, said it was true that Mr. Sims took part in the assault, but he argued his client did not intend to hurt Mr. Lien, only detain him. “There is zero intent to cause serious physical injury,” he said.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures
Wikipedia
The Two Cultures is the title of the first part of an influential 1959 Rede Lecture by British scientist and novelist C. P. Snow. Its thesis was that “the intellectual life of the whole of western society” was split into the titular two cultures — namely the sciences and the humanities — and that this was a major hindrance to solving the world’s problems. …
The lecture – Implications and influence – Antecedents – See also
Snow’s position can be summed up by an often-repeated part of the essay:
A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists. Once or twice I have been provoked and have asked the company how many of them could describe the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The response was cold: it was also negative. Yet I was asking something which is the scientific equivalent of: Have you read a work of Shakespeare’s?[5]
I now believe that if I had asked an even simpler question — such as, What do you mean by mass, or acceleration, which is the scientific equivalent of saying, Can you read? — not more than one in ten of the highly educated would have felt that I was speaking the same language. So the great edifice of modern physics goes up, and the majority of the cleverest people in the western world have about as much insight into it as their neolithic ancestors would have had.[5]
