Including some solid advice from Allen Ginsberg
Quote from the essay that reads "During the session Ginsberg advises Hujar how to warm up William S. Burroughs for a portrait (“suck his cock”) after he learns that Hujar will shoot the novelist the following day."

Excerpt from the interview, which reads "What hasn’t been quantified yet are the transaction costs of dismantling each agency, which will be magnified exponentially during any future reconstruction effort. News reports have described food, medicine, and other vital forms of foreign aid expiring as they languish in overseas ports. At home, tangible costs may include the destruction or sale of office equipment, the termination of building leases, and the loss of records and other items necessary to the essential functions of a department." Excerpt from the interview, which reads "The intangible costs are even higher as expertise literally walks out the door. The costs of canceling grants and then one day (hopefully) restarting legitimate scientific research will magnify the overall expense of reaching actionable results. Intelligence failures due to the purge of intelligence employees and the hiring of loyalists may produce catastrophic losses to national security."
