Well, there's a jolly idea: To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Hunter Thompson's landmark "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72," they are going to have a book signing at the Wyly family owned Explore Booksellers. If that doesn't inspire a king-hell haunting of someone by the departed doctor, it won't be for lack of trying. I don't know if this was Juan's idea or Walter Isaacson's, but why not just set fire to Hunter's corpse and shoot it from a cannon? That would show more respect. Do Carl Bernstein and Doug Brinkley really know what they're doing?
