A Day Late and A Dollar Short IV: 
"People will flock to an idea that is 75 to 95 percent true..."


 From Jeremy Blake's Sodium Fox: Virginia-born musician/poet David Berman intones at this point: "We called ourselves the Rivergate 8. Most parents thought we were a cinemaplex." I've tried identifying the figures here, with that kind of cross-word puzzle need for clues. Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov is far right, next to Geronimo, and to the left of the dog is a youthful photo of reclusive writer Thomas Pynchon. The expression and attitude of the woman at far left resembles Theresa Duncan, but is one of those 1960s-1970s hip culture figures whose faces are now more familiar than their names. The guy with glasses, or the dog, or the Mod vest and striped coat--a rocker, designer? What's eight across?
(i think the first image left is Joan Didion..anyone, anyone?--MK)
