A True Adventure

STEPHEN DONNER AS TOLD TO JOHN McKERNAN

Four moons ago I was lifting a neat $2,000 a month off and under the table dealing dope: mostly mary jane and a lot of pills but no smack. I am not into death. I am into the dollar. And who would have thought that I, Stephen Donner, Harvard ’70, Anthropology with Honors, would be dealing lettuce. My friends write me, call me, send me telegrams every week telling me where I can boxcar a thousand kilos of smooth river weed or where I can weave out five hundred buttons of mescaline. They are all amazed, and a little angry too, when I tell them I have left the nickel-dime scene for the world of high finance and big business. I deal lettuce out of a warehouse on the East Side a little up from Houston near the Fish Library. I work at night between ten and four in the morning.
