A Brief Biographical Sketch

Anthony St. John was born 7 October 1944 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. His fathers parents were born in The Old Soviet Union; his mothers mother was born in Ireland and her husband was born in France. Mr St. John studied in three universities: St. Bonaventure University (1962-66); the University of Miami (1972-73); and, the University of Florida (197375). He specialised in Philosophy, British Literature, and Northamerican Literature. He toiled for William F. Buckley, Jrs National Review (1961-62) as a circulation and correspondence assistant. Mr St. John is a graduate of the United States Army Artillery & Missile School, Fort Sill, Oklahoma (1966), and served as an instructor in a missile/rocket training battalion, United States Army Training Center, Fort Sill (Little John, Honest John, Sergeant, Pershing, Lance missiles and rockets). He was stationed in South Vietnam (August 1967-August 1968) where he attained

the rank of first lieutenant. He was an artillery forward observer (Fourth Division), then performed the duties of artillery liaison officer (Americal Division) at battalion and brigade levels. He was a social worker for Floridas Division of Family Services, and was useful in the ghetto of northwest Fort Lauderdale (1969-71). Mr St. John reported for The Hollywood Herald (197273); The Miami Herald, a Knight-Ridder company (197374); and, The Gainesville Sun, a The New York Times Company company (1974-75). He was a copy editor for The Daily Journal, Caracas, Venezuelas English-written news digest (1977). In Venezuela, trying to win the hand of a woman he loved, he associated himself with the Accin Democratica political party, lended a hand (media consultant) at the Ministerio de Informacin y Turismo, and re-scrawled political speeches of President Carlos Andrs Prez during his corrupt presidency (1977). After the Accin Democratica presidential loss, he taught English (Certificate of Proficiency) at the British Institute in Caracas. However, this appointment must be taken cum grano salis because the directress of The Tute, an Irish woman, absconded with the association's funds causing the closure of the centre of British culture and leaving, forever, her good judgement in dubiety.

Mr St. John is the author of the unpublished The Hippie Lieutenant (a trilogy about his experiences in Vietnam); Politically Philosophical and Philosophically Political Writings: A Book of Essays; Men Without Honor, Women Without Love (a trilogy set in Caracas); Poetry by Me, Anthony; A Book of Aphorisms and Quotations by Anthony St. John; A Book of Vietnam War Poetry; One-pagers on Form-giving Cause as Contrasted with Potential Existence; Pages on Form-giving Cause as Contrasted with Potential Existence; Why I Live Beyond the United States of America; Pinning Hope on a Contemporary Style Intended to Cultivate Gracious Behaviour, et alia.

He is an Italianist trying to understand the political, social and economic realities of Italy. He is particularly proud of the results of an Inkblot (Rorschach) Test taken on www.emode.com: Anthony, your subconscious is driven most by PEACE. You have a deeply-rooted desire to make peace in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with loved ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to be able to influence the world in a positive way. You have a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it, and you inspire others to feel the same way. Your innate drive toward PEACE guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others. Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are. People who have unconscious minds driven by PEACE tend to be independent thinkers who often prefer to live by their own high personal standards and moral code.

To those who question his atheism, he says this: If a god (god spelt backwards is dog!) exists who is allperfect, all-powerful, all-good, all-intelligent, and allknowing, how could he have created two imbeciles like you and like me! To those who question his mitigated Marxism, he says this: Please read Marx by Peter
