I remember how full of frisky joy Allen Ginsberg was when he was elected Kral Majales, or King of the May, by the young people of Prague in the spring of 1965. He had just been tossed out of Cuba for raising issues of homosexual harassment (plus, as I recall, he patted the derriere of the Minister of Culture at a party). Shortly after being paraded through the streets as Kral Majales, Ginsberg was seized by the secret police, his personal diary was confiscated, and he was summarily expelled from what was then Czechoslovakia and shoved onto a flight to London where he met and partied with the Beatles.
