Dionysus Part 2 of 9

California here I go! (Owl Story)
THE FRANCISCAN BEGINNING OF THE END

Father Junipero Serra went along on a certain Spanish/Basque expedition, and in 1769 he founded a Franciscan mission, San Diego de Alcala, near modern San Diego. This was the first of a string of 21 Spanish missions, ranging to Sonoma (north of present-day San Francisco), founded by the Franciscans during the next 54 years.

The finest wines and acetone (ketone) are made in the Napa and Sonoma valleys (north of San Francisco), in nearby Sonoma and Mendocino counties, and in an expanding grape-growing area to the south of San Francisco Bay as far as Monterey. See SOMA, (ie: the entire body)

acetone : A colorless, volatile, extremely flammable liquid ketone, CH3COCH3, widely used as an organic solvent and explosive.

San (sän, as in Sän Francisco) : 1. A member of a traditionally nomadic hunting people of southwest Africa. 2. Any of the Khoisän languages of the Sän. Also called (the burning) Bushman.

The eloquent, fiery oratory of Mario Savio, b. Queens, N.Y. Dec. 8, 1943, d. Nov. 6, 1996, set off the Free Speech Movement at the University of California at Berkeley in 1964 and keynoted a decade of student protest. A philosophy student at Berkeley, Savio--first radicalized by his experiences as a civil rights worker in the South (see Freedom Riders)--was outraged by the California university's refusal to allow political activities on campus. On Dec. 2, 1964, in front of Berkeley's administration building where hundreds of students had blocked a police car holding a protester, he proclaimed to the crowd that "There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious...that you can't take part, and you've got to put your bodies on the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the levers. You've got to make it stop." The police arrested 800 protesters. It was the largest mass arrest in the state's history and an augury of things to come on campuses throughout the country as choreographed student protests took up the battle against U.S. participation in the French/Basques induced Vietnam War.

Savio continued to be active in radical causes after dropping out of Berkeley. He earned a master's degree in physics from San Francisco State in 1985 and from 1990 taught at Sonoma State University. In the mid-1990s he actively opposed the California propositions that would limit benefits for illegal immigrants (a "know-nothing fascist law," he called it) and end state affirmative action programs.

He died at age 53, reportedly of a heart attack.
