Alex Trocchi was a writer (_Cain's Book_ probably the best book on 
heroin addiction, even if the _Naked Lunch_ is the greater book overall), 
a culture hero of the London sixties/seventies underground scene, founder 
of _sigma_ a (more or less secretive group of insurgents) -- you can find 
an essay by AT around that in the old "City Lights Journal" #2: "The 
Invisible Insurrection; sigma, a Tactical Blueprint." Anothert 
intyeresting source for info on AT & the sixties/seventiesa is Jeff 
Nuttall's _Bomb Culture_ (Delta 1968)
