John Williams mentioned Aleister Crowley.
************ I read his CONFESSIONS many years ago, and then
years later read a biography that mentioned the code phrases
he used referring to specific sexual acts.
Among other things, he was one of the first mountaineers to
use crampons instead of arduously cutting steps into the ice.
I believe he made an early run quite a ways up K2 with Oskar
Eckenstein.
After squandering a family fortune, the Beast 666, as he
liked to be called, died an impoverished drug addict.
Hemingway makes a passing reference to him in his A MOVEABLE
FEAST, with someone whispering about the most evil man in the
world as he walks past a Paris restaurant.
