The NYT opens the Dalton School line of inquiry. I’d love for some files to be unsealed but it’s not a public agency and I doubt there’s a private course of action to force it. Interesting that Epstein was fired. I don’t recall if that was known. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/12/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-dalton-teacher.html …

To be sure, the succession from Papa Donald Barr serving in the OSS to son William Barr joining CIA after grad school has a bit of a Charles McCarry feel. But there was also just a geographical-academic-class nexus to the OSS and early CIA. https://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/10/nyregion/donald-barr-82-headmaster-and-science-honors-educator.html …

Well, if you're collecting those, Samuel R. Delany went to Dalton. But in the 1950s.

Probably not recruited by the CIA though.

Man, that would be a fun security-clearance interview though. "So, have you ever...? Oh, you have. And...that too? I see...Oh, also that. Well..."

Holy crap, fellas. Speaking of Delany, I just read the Clute review of Space Relations Jeet clipped. It's as if the opening of Tales of Neveryon were deliberately riffing on and subverting it.

That's why I thought there might be a real Barr/Delany connection.

I get it. Though Tales of Neveryon came out years afterward. Delany could have learned of Space Relations via Clute's review, been disappointed in its heteronormativity, and filed the feeling away for later.
